We also analyze what might be called an anti-variety effect as the result of trade liberalization.We show that this effect is most pronounced for small countries.This resonates with the often voiced criticism from antiglobalists that globalization leads the world to become more homogeneous by eliminating local specialties. Nevertheless, we find that trade liberalization always leads to welfare gains in the model. 000292211 580__ $$aIn: Review of Development Economics. - Volume 14(2010), No. 2, pages 161-176 000292211 700__ $$aBaldwin, Richard E 000292211 700__ $$aForslid, Rikard 000292211 8564_ $$92893fc21-a407-4031-8795-8236a26fb1fe$$s206068$$uhttps://repository.graduateinstitute.ch/record/292211/files/RDE_Baldwin_2010.pdf 000292211 8564_ $$94c190d73-1da1-4782-9903-81a6dd494eb0$$xpdfa$$s1571294$$uhttps://repository.graduateinstitute.ch/record/292211/files/RDE_Baldwin_2010.pdf?subformat=pdfa 000292211 901__ $$uInternational Economics Department$$0319285 000292211 909CO $$ooai:repository.graduateinstitute.ch:292211$$pGLOBAL_SET$$pIHEID:Explore 000292211 937__ $$aARTICLE-2015-020 000292211 980__ $$aARTICLE
