I think the profit to transnational capital shouldn't be "aggregated" to any country. How does that change the analysis?

Re: 'That's Politics' (none / 0)

Don't make the mistake of believing that transnational corporate profits are, along with closed plants here in the developed world, the real story. Remember the consumers who benefit.

Re: 'That's Politics' (none / 0)

I am questioning the computation of "national aggregates", in particular that profits (or even the capital) of transnationals should be aggregated to any nation.

How about analyzing a two-country, two-product Ricardian model with a transnational intermediary? How much of the benefits of free trade accrue to each of the three players?
