本文探讨了在存在反向进口的情况下，运输成本、关税和外国工资率对国内经济的影响，并在一个国际寡头垄断模型中特别强调了公司间的成本不对称。为了服务国内市场，一家外国公司在国外生产，而两家国内公司在国内或国外生产。令人惊讶的是，外国工资率的提高可能会增加在外国生产的公司的利润。即使所有公司都在国外生产，外国工资率的提高也可能改善国内福利。
This paper explores the effects of transport costs, tariffs, and foreign wage rates on the domestic economy in the presence of reverse imports, with special emphasis on inter-firm cost asymmetry in an international oligopoly model. To serve the domestic market, a foreign firm produces in the foreign country, while two domestic firms produce either at home or abroad. Surprisingly, an increase in the foreign wage rate may increase the profits of a firm producing in the foreign country. Even if all firms produce in the foreign country, an increase in the foreign wage rate may improve domestic welfare.
