Abstract
Using a model of monopolistic competition with traded and non-traded goods, this paper establishes a positive link between scale economies, the volume of intra-industry trade and the share of trade in total production. These results are consistent with empirical findings. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B .V. All rights reserved.
