最近关于规模经济的许多文献是由于工业化国家之间的贸易量相对于“南北”贸易而言很大。本文提出了两个替代假设，一个是基于南北GNP的差异，另一个是基于南方较高的保护水平的理论和实证分析。使用数值一般均衡模型进行的反事实实验支持这样的假设，即南北贸易相对较小，因为南方贫穷，受到高度保护。版权所有1990年由皇家经济学会。
Much of the recent literature on scale economies has been motivated by the large volume of trade among the industrialized countries relative to "North-South" trade. This paper presents theoretical and empirical analyses of two alternative hypotheses, one based on differences in North versus South GNP and one based on higher protection levels in the South. Counter-factual experiments using a numerical general-equilibrium model support the hypotheses that North-South trade is relatively small because the South is poor and highly protected.
