Introduction
Dixit and Stiglitz (1977): brought monopolistic competition into a GEframework
Krugman (1979,1980, 1985) Monopolistic Competition Trade Model
Economy of scale motive of trade
Seyed Ali Madanizadeh (Sharif U. of Tech.) Krugman Monopolistic Competition Trade Model May 3, 2014 2 / 23
Model
No differences in factor intensities
One factor of production: Call it labor L with wage w
Labor moves across producers but not across countries
Seyed Ali Madanizadeh (Sharif U. of Tech.) Krugman Monopolistic Competition Trade Model May 3, 2014 3 / 23
Model
Same effi ciencies for all the labor and producers z
Production setup requires a fixed cost (additional labor) F
The range of goods to be produced are endogenous
It is determined by the free entry condition
Each producer makes a different good: so it sells it monopolistically.
The space of goods is modeled as a continuum
Index the goods by j
For now consider a closed economy

Preferences: Spence-Dixit-Stiglitz (SDS)
A CES over the continuum of goods:
U =(∫
y (j)(σ−1)/σ dj) σ
σ−1
σ > 1
Budget Constraint: ∫p (j) y (j) dj = X = wL+Π
X : Total Spending
Seyed Ali Madanizadeh (Sharif U. of Tech.) Krugman Monopolistic Competition Trade Model May 3, 2014 5 / 23
Household
Demand for good j :
x (j) =(p (j)P
)−(σ−1)X
where
P =(∫
p (j)−(σ−1) dj)−1/(σ−1)
Seyed Ali Madanizadeh (Sharif U. of Tech.) Krugman Monopolistic Competition Trade Model May 3, 2014 6 / 23
Producer
The market structure is monopolistic competition.
Each good is produced by a separate monopolist who takes totalspending X and the price index P in each market as given.
Markets are segmented so that producers can set a different price ineach national market.

Market
Suppose J is the measure of producers of goods
Price Index:
P =
(∫ J
0p (j)−(σ−1) dj
)−1/(σ−1)
= J−1/(σ−1)p
= J−1/(σ−1)m̄wz

Market Equilibrium
Firm’s revenue in equilibrium:
x =
(m̄wzP
)−(σ−1)X
=
(m̄w
zJ−1/(σ−1)m̄wz
)−(σ−1)X
=XJ

Equilibrium Conditions
Income = Expenditure
Jx = X = wL+Π
Free EntryΠ = 0
Unknowns: wP , J

Therefore the endogenous number of firms becomes:
