Abstract

This paper explores how interactions between interregional and international trade shape the effects of entry costs on cross-region productivity disparity within a country. In a two-country three-region Melitz model, compared with an autarky, regional productivity disparity in an open economy resulting from entry costs differentials widens further if interregional transportation costs are low, and shrinks when they are high.
