K. Production has constant returns to scale and is perfectly competitive. The unit cost functions
for good i is bi(w, r), the same in all countries, where w and r are factor prices.
We have chosen to develop the model with three produced goods. The reason is that
three goods gives a much richer pattern of trades than does a two-good model, since both the
pattern of trade and the number of goods produced, traded, or non-traded, will vary across
countries.4 The three-good framework also sets the stage for our analysis of fragmentation,
which we model as increasing the number of traded activities from two to three. With three
goods and two factors production is indeterminate in countries that have zero trade costs, but
such countries lie only on a line in our two-dimensional space of countries.5
The three goods are denoted X1, X2 and X3, with world prices pi, i = 1, 2, 3. Trade is
subject to iceberg trade costs which vary across countries, but which are the same for all goods
to/from a particular country. Thus, if a country with trade costs t $ 1 (where t = 1 is free trade),
imports good Xi , the internal price will be tpi. Conversely, if it exports the good the price will be
pi /t as domestic producers only receive a fraction of the world price. Notice that we assume that
these trade costs are incurred on both exports and imports, and that a particular country has the
same values t on its trade with all destinations. It is this that allows us to talk of a clearly defined
‘world price’; it is as if there is a central market place to which countries export and from which
they import. Of course, this is a fiction, but it is also a great simplification, meaning that we do
not have to work with a full matrix of trade costs between all pairs of countries. It corresponds
with reality to the extent that trade costs are just border costs. For example, if trade costs are
6
simply port handling costs, then they apply to all imports regardless of source and exports
regardless of destination. Similarly, if the barriers are non-preferential import tariffs or export
taxes then they are consistent with our model, although we ignore revenue that any such tariff
barriers might earn.
The equilibrium location of production satisfies a set of inequality relationships. Each
good Xi will be produced in a country only if its unit cost is less than or equal to the import price;
and export opportunities mean that the lower bound on unit cost is the export price, so
(1)
If the unit cost is strictly within this inequality then the country is self-sufficient in the good,
while it may export the good if the unit cost is at the lower end, and import it at the upper end.
Our strategy for describing the equilibrium has two parts. The first is numerical. We use
GAMS to solve for the multi-country equilibrium and details of the code used and dimensionality
of the problem are given in appendix 1. We present results from these simulations in a series of
figures which describe what countries – differentiated by factor endowments and by trade costs –
produce; what they trade; and values of their factor prices and real incomes. These figures
indicate the existence of different regimes, in which countries are specialized in different
activities. The second part of our strategy is to analytically characterize these regimes, showing
how they depend on key parameters of the model.
We start with a symmetric three-good case, and make the following assumptions:
I) Preferences are Cobb-Douglas with expenditure equally divided among the three
goods.
II) X1, X2, and X3 production are Cobb-Douglas with symmetric factor shares, with X1 the

Abstract
We provide a synthetic analysis of the different ways in which countries participate in the world
economy. Classic trade questions are reconsidered by generalizing a factor-proportions model to
multiple countries, multiple goods or multi-stage production, and country-specific trade costs. Each
country’s production specialization, trade and welfare is determined by the interaction between its
relative endowment and its trade costs. Findings include the result that the relationship between
trade volumes and gains from trade is not monotonic. We consider the effects of allowing one good
to ‘ fragment’ into component and assembly production. Some countries engage in these production
stages primarily to serve the domestic market, while others become ‘export platforms’. The volume
of trade and welfare levels are higher with fragmentation for most countries, although for a large
block of countries these variables fall following fragmentation.

Trade theory tends to be dominated by two-country models while empirical research inevitably
confronts multi-country data. Theoretical analyses which do assume multiple countries often
rely on product differentiation (Armington or monopolistic-competition), free trade, and possibly
factor-price equalization to obtain results. Often the models are not solved for world general
equilibrium, especially outside of the factor-price-equalization set.
While rich insights have certainly been gained from the two-country approach, some
inherent limitations of two-ness rule out many interesting and important questions. A couple of
examples for factor-proportions models are as follows. First, consider a country with the average
world endowment. In a two-country model, the other country has the same endowment by
definition and so a country with the average world endowment is predicted not to trade, which is
surely counter empirical. Second, suppose that there are three goods to be produced. With two
countries, one country must produce at least two of the goods, so some specialization patterns
are ruled out. Both countries cannot be specialized even if they have extreme endowment ratios.
Third, consider trade costs. In a two-country world, there is no meaningful sense in which one
country has low trade costs and the other high trade costs. We could never ask how two
countries with the same factor proportions but different trade costs differ in their production and
trade patterns. A fourth example comes from the theory of multinational firms. A two-country
model will generally not support horizontal and vertical firms simultaneously.
These limitations are the motivation for this paper. The purpose of the paper is to
reconsider a set of classic trade questions where there are multiple countries which differ in
relative endowments and trade costs. Our basic set up is a two-dimensional space of countries,
differing in relative factor endowments and in trade costs, and we characterize the production

1 Domestic market oriented assembly and export platform assembly correspond to the notions of
horizontal and vertical investment developed in the literature on multinationals (Markusen 2002).

consistent with those of Yi (2003).
and trade of every country in this two dimensional space. We begin by deriving the pattern of
production specialization, trade, and factor prices in a three-good, two-factor context, comparing
trade to autarky for all countries. The model is also an excellent vehicle for considering multistage
production and outsourcing, topics of current interest. Our second exercise is thus to begin
with trade in a two-good model, and then allow the production of one good (X) to fragment into
two stages, components (C) and assembly (A) and assess how countries with different factor
endowments and trade costs react to this new opportunity.
Several results can be highlighted for the three-good model. First, a low-trade-cost
country with the average world endowment may specialize and trade a great deal. Such a
country gains from trade, but those gains are small compared to countries with endowments far
from the world average. Second and closely related, there is not a strong correlation between
trade volumes and gains from trade. This raises questions about attempts such as that of Frankel
and Romer (1999) to empirically quantify gains from trade on the basis of trade volumes.
Turning to fragmentation and outsourcing, we show that some countries engage in
assembly just for the domestic market, while others operate as export platforms for assembled
goods. We thereby provide an integrated treatment of patterns of production that have previously
been studied in quite different models.1 Fragmentation also effects trade volumes and welfare.
While many countries respond to fragmentation with increased trade volumes, for some
countries trade volumes fall2. Turning to welfare, we show that while most countries gain from

3 In Anderson and van Wincoop each region produces a single composite good differentiated
from other regions, and they solve for bilateral trade flows in a multi-country world. We go in a more
traditional Heckscher-Ohlin direction with a richer structure for product and factor markets. Countries
specialize in sub-sets of common (homogeneous goods) on the basis of their factor endowment and trade
cost. We do not solve for bilateral flows, but only for each country’s volume and composition of trade.
fragmentation, a set of countries with relative factor abundance close to the factor intensity of
integrated X production lose from fragmentation, a result anticipated by Jones and Kierzkowski
(2001).
1. Related literature
Our paper relates to an extensive range of existing literature, both theoretical and empirical. An
early multi-country approach to factor-proportions trade is found in Leamer (1984) with more
recent developments in a series of papers by Davis and Weinstein which move away from free
trade and factor-price equalization (the empirical implications of trade frictions with many
countries and goods are derived in Davis and Weinstein 2003). Multi-country issues are
addressed explicitly in much of the work on monopolistic competition and on gravity models, for
example Anderson and van Wincoop (2003).3
Analyses of multi-stage production and of fragmentation are given in Jones (2000) and
articles in the edited volume of Arndt and Kierzkowski (2001). Markusen (1989), Venables
(1999), Hanson (1998), and Venables and Limao (2002) consider the issue, and the latter two
papers introduce a multi-country framework and country or region-specific trade costs.
Grossman and Rossi-Hansberg (2006) have several innovations, including a structure in which
each intermediate good or service is used in all industries, so tradeability of one of these “tasks”
directly affects all industries rather than just one. We build upon much of this research, solving
4
for world general equilibrium in the multi-country setting and developing the systematic
relationship between the country-specific characteristics of endowments and trade costs and the
resultant patterns of specialization and trade.
Although we use a competitive model, some results have analogies to the literature on
multinational firms, in particular the distinction between horizontal (market serving) and vertical
(export platform) activities. The horizontal model was developed in Markusen (1984), the
vertical model in Helpman (1984) and Helpman and Krugman (1985), and an integrated
approach is given in Markusen (2002). All of these analyses have the two-country limitation
noted above. We show that, with many countries and trade costs, market serving and export
platform fragmentation can coexist in a perfectly competitive economic environment.
Turning to the empirical literature, the growth of trade in intermediates and vertical
specialization are analyzed by a number of authors including Hummels, Rapoport and Yi (1998),
Yeats (1998), Ng and Yeats (1999), Hummels, Ishii and Yi (2001), and Hanson, Mataloni and
Slaughter (2001, 2002). Yi’s (2003) paper presents an insightful integration of theory and
empirical analysis, but the theory sticks with a two-country case (and thus countries cannot differ
in trade costs). We hope that our paper can contribute to this empirical literature by suggesting
new underlying theoretical relationships with empirical implications.
2. The multi-country model
As noted above, we will work in a world in which there are many countries, differing from each
other in their factor endowments and in their trade costs. The description of each country draws
on standard trade theory ingredients. Each country has fixed endowments of two factors, L and

I am not sure about you my friend but most people I know would rather spend hours and days checking out information and talk to people when they are planning to buy a car, than when they buy a house or even taking out investment strategies.

Of course if you are buying a car worth 100k or more then tha'ts different. But if you can afford those kind of cars then chances are, you wouldn't need more financial investment education. Chances are you are already a buyer of endowment policies, or at least heard about them. You are indeed in the minority group but you know what I am going on about here.

Not all the answers you find, you will be able to get an answer for in our website and we realise that but hopefully we have given you enough to increase your knowledge level so you can make well informed decisions.

Most people may not realised it but it doesn't take much time to really improve your education about any areas in your life. This include investment strategies including selling, buying or trading endowments.

We wish you well in your plans for a prosperous retirement and prosperous future for you and your family.

Affiliate is very popular word in the internet marketing world. You may hear this word as
the fastest and easiest way to make money from the internet. If you get into the internet
marketing business and never heard about it, you might be living on another planet.
Affiliate is the person who acts as a referrer to products or services of a
company/business and receives commission on every successful sale. For example,
John is selling a "Step by Step Guide to Build Wealth" eBook. John has a friend named
Christina, Christina sells John's eBook to another friends. Because Christina helped
John to make more money, John gives Christina a commission 50% of the eBooks
price.
That was easy, right? Just by referring products to someone else, you earn 50%
commission. Don't be surprised, there are some products who give more than 75%
commission to their affiliates. Using this affiliate system, many gurus said that they can
earn money without product, without website, even without ideas! Because all they need
to do is find an affiliate product and then referring it to someone else.
Affiliate Program is a program that provides a system to allow affiliates to sign up and
selling the products to receive commissions. Without affiliate program, there is no way
you can record every sell from the affiliate. To have an affiliate business, you will need a
third party script for your website or find a service that provide affiliate system.
There is a place where people meet to offer their affiliate products to sell. It's called
affiliate directory. Usually people go to affiliate directory to find an affiliate products.
Some affiliate directory even pay the affiliates using check and bank transfer directly

There are 5 programs that every internet marketers started with. Yes, you can delegate
some things to another person, but it's important for you to know the basic, so you can
do it by yourself without delegate it to anyone.
First, is a word editing program. You will need a document editor program. You can use
Microsoft Word, or if you want to get free software, you can try OpenOffice.org. It is like
a free version of Microsoft Word. There's no other software better than those two. So,
find one of them and use it.
Second, search for a PDF converter program. Once you have finished creating your
own information product, you will need to convert it to a PDF format. Using a PDF
format will make your customer easier to read your book.
Using the PDF format, your customer can't change the content so it's also safer to give
them the PDF format. Your product can't be altered, add, removed, or edited and its
contents remain the same just like you created it.
If you're using Microsoft Word, you will need to find third party program to convert the
document to PDF. But, if you're using OpenOffice.org, you can convert your document
to PDF without third party software.
Third, find a paint program. This is optional, but you will need this if you want to create
beautiful cover for your product, or maybe you want to make any illustration or design
for your product and website. For myself, I'm using Adobe Photoshop to create my
website and eBook covers.
Fourth, find an affiliate programs. To boost your sales, you should join a few affiliate
programs and try to find many affiliates to sell your products. This way, you can gain
profit from backend income later.
The last is the most important thing. It is your brain with some confidence to go! Most of
newbie don't have this one, so they can't get started right away. You don't need to
prepare everything before you start your online business. Try everything you learn and
implement it. By doing and failed, you will know what is right and what is wrong.

There are some reasons why you must start your Information Product Business online.
It's very easy and affordable to start with no overhead costs and no inventory needed.
You need no employees, zero delivery cost (instant download), 100% profit margin, and
a completely automated business.
If you're a newbie internet marketer, I congratulate you for taking action starting an
online business. You will have a wonderful future with internet business if you have a
commitment to build your business seriously. The internet is a way to generate massive
autopilot income with the easiest system.
The most important thing to remember is you must use a solid proven system that you
can learn from other internet marketer who started before you. Just keep things simple
and make use of the system. After you success in one market then you can duplicate
and replicate your business with another market. After doing all of that, start focus on
the marketing. Business without marketing is not business. This is the key to be
success in business whether in online or offline business. But you can't advertise your
business if it doesn't have a solid system so these things must work together.
The next principle is sell what people want. Start to find a hot market first and then
decide what you want to offer to them. Find their needs and give them your products
that fulfill their needs. Most gurus recommend you to create your product then find a
market. But it's better if you reverse the process. Find a hot market first, and then give
them your product that they need. This way will make it easier to advertise them. Make
sure that you give what they want instantly. Give them something to download to solve
their problems.
For the internet business model that you take, I will recommend you to choose affiliate
marketing for the first start. Affiliate marketing is selling other people products and make
commission for each selling. You don't need to create any product. Just give people the
vendor's link and you will earn commission every time they buy the product. It is very
easy to start and maintain.
The most important tip to start an affiliate programs is choose a good product to offer.
Search on the market which product has the most market and less competitive. After
you find it, create your own website and collect the visitors email. Then, make it linked
to the vendor's website so visitors will get the product through your website. Keep

promoting your site everyday and you will earn a lot. Remember to keep focus on one
product first and never give up. It's normal to not having sale in your 1st or 2nd month.
Just keep promoting and build the list

This is the first guide for you to start your internet marketing business. I will explain
anything that you must know and give you an overview step by step to start.
The principle number one is to start the right way. You must have a strong foundation
regarding the information for your business. You must know by yourself how to set up
your business and how much does it cost. Don't give another people to make a website
for you without knowing the exact price of many things needed because there are a lot
of scams out there. They can say to you, "give me money to create a business website
for you, it will cost $200/month". No, it's not that expensive. I will tell you what is needed
to begin your internet business and how much does it cost.
What you need first is domain name. Domain name is your home address in the
internet. For example, I have a website to teach you how to generate massive traffic.
How do you get in my website? I would say to you that my website name is
www.MagicOfWealth.com. Then that's mean my domain is MagicOfWealth. I hope you
do understand what I mean. How can you get your domain name? You can buy domain
names at DomainSite dot com, or yahoo dot com, or NameCheap dot com. It costs
around $8 - $9 to buy 1 domain name.
Next you will need a web hosting to host your website. If domain name is your home
address, then web hosting is your house. Web hosting is where you put all the files of
your website, so people can look inside your store, what do you sale and what you
provide for them. You can buy a web hosting in GoDaddy dot com, LunarPages dot
com, HostGator dot com and many other places. There is a lot of package in the hosting
provider, which one should you choose? Well the answer is depending on what type of
business you will do. If you want to create complex businesses which need a big
databases and bandwidth, you should choose an average package. But if you just a
starter and want to try the easiest way in internet marketing, affiliate marketing. Affiliate
marketing just need 2 - 3 page of html pages. And it will not need a lot of spaces for
that.
My affiliate website takes space only 500kb and it can packaged in one diskette. If you
want to start the affiliate business for your first internet marketing business then I
recommend you to choose the smallest hosting package. But it must include e-mail
account and available to use php script. These things are very important. One hosting
could take around $7 per month for average hosting

The other thing you need is a website builder. Website builder is the contractor which
builds your store. Its software for you to type what do you want to put in your website.
You can get the free one like MyFreeWebsiteBuilder. It is a good website builder and
created by an expert internet marketer named Ewen Chia.
The last thing you need is a payment processor. Payment processor is the place where
people pay for your products. They choose your product, they pay to the payment
processor, then they get your product. It's that simple. Before knowing this thing, I
always wondered, how can I make people give use credit card to pay for my account
bank? Well, there is another person who has done the work for you. So all you need is
register to them and use their services. It's easier and more secure. The payment
processor I recommend is Clickbank dot com, 2checkout dot com, Paypal dot com, and
authorize dot net. Some of them cost every month. But some just need once pay for
lifetime. It's around $49 to register in 2checkout by now. But it costs free to register in
clickbank.
These are the things you should know to start any type of internet marketing business.
There is many things needed beside these things but it's regarding on what type of
business that you have. For the first time I recommend you to start an affiliate
marketing. It's the easiest and the simplest way to get a lot of money.

Internet Marketing Newbie Guide
First Read before You Start Internet Marketing
Before you start an internet marketing business, there are few things that you need to
know. These things are very important to know before you get doing the internet
marketing business. As you may know, very little marketer can continue their internet
business while the others stop to continue.
Even you get the exact methods to make money from the internet, but if you expecting
results from zero effort, it is useless. A lot of people learn the exact same methods but
only a few of them can succeed in their online business. Do you know why? Because
some of them take action and get results, and the others cannot even bothered to try it
out.
Keep these things in your mind; you are responsible for your own success, not anyone
else! Some people keep blaming things around them and they give up to keep trying.
We can see that the problem is in them. The key to success in Internet Marketing is
hard work and never give up. There is no magic pill to become rich in internet
marketing. While you're gambling with your money, you can get a lot instantly, but you
can lose a lot at the same time too. Internet marketing is different. It started with building
your branding, people's mind about your product, and your popularity will increase.
When you become the true expert on your market, you will never lose your money.
The inability to focus, take responsibility and act is a serious problem. It can cause the
downfall of many well meaning entrepreneurs. It can lead many on an endless wild
goose chase with no positive destination. Don't ever let this thing happen to you.
Ewen Chia, internet marketing guru, said that to become success, you must see the big
picture of internet marketing, and use a proven system while doing this. Why must
proven system? Because it's useless to know the big picture if you've nothing to move
forward with.
Any business relies on market, business serve their market by making offers of products
and services. The customers come thought advertising and promotion. They bring in
additional profit by providing back end or post sale products. Finally the business owner
duplicates his model by either starting another business in a different market, or
duplicating his business in the new one.

Have you heard that everyone in the world is separated by just six people?   What's interesting is how the six degrees of separation was derived.   It is based on a set of experiments done by Stanley Milgram.  The experiments were designed using letters sent across the country to recipients that were not known to the original sender.   Each person was to forward the letter to someone they knew in the hope that it gets closer to the intended recipient.   The average number of links from the originator to the final recipients was five or six, with the majority reaching within the range of two to ten.   Since the average was six, the saying six degrees of separation was born.   Interestingly, the most successful study only had 29% of the final recipients receiving the package.   That means 71% of the study was a failure.
Ivan Misner, Ph.D. wrote a book about networking and how everyone can become one of the 29% of successful networkers that really can be separated from the rest of the world by six degrees.   Mr. Misner states:
With reading, training, and coaching, people can develop their networking skills, increase their connections and become a part of the roughly 29 percent of people who are, in fact, separated from the rest of the world by just six degrees.
The book then shares a 52 week strategy on how to become a better networker.   I especially like the week 15 strategy, "Be a Value-Added Friend." This really hits home in our day of Twitter and Facebook.   It's about gaining credibility and growing deeper in relationship with key contacts by providing them value.   It is this type of networking that has made some so successful.   Key ways to connect extend beyond the meet and greet networking events.   It's about connecting at other social events and getting together in different settings.   It has been my experience that you do not know someone until you've broken bread together.   And the level of community and trust increases dramatically when you are both involved in a neutral activity (charitable event, golfing, other social activity).
Each chapter of this little gem is about four pages long.   It is meant to be a workbook that can be gone through from beginning to end or used piecemeal as one sees fit.   Each chapter ends with a small set of action steps. Here are the action steps for week 15 (paraphrased):
Choose one person with whom you have a strong relationship with and ask the following questions:
1. What would you like to accomplish with your business this year?
2. What are your challenges this year?
3. What is standing in the way of you meeting your goals?
4. How can I help you?
5. What do you need to help you be successful?
The object is to really listen and try to find ways to provide value to that person.   Once you've done this with one person in your network, you can move on to additional people.
Networking is a key component of a successful business.   Ivan Misner, Ph.D. provides simple step by step instructions on how to develop a strong valuable network.   I highly recommend picking up a copy of his book, "The 29% Solution."
