| Abstract |
|
|
|
|
Using a general equilibrium model of a protected
developing economy, we demonstrate that imperfect labor mobility may
eliminate the possibility of immiserizing growth from foreign
investment in an export enclave by allowing job creation to
countervail losses in tariff revenue. |
