Inframarginal Approach To Trade Theory.

Inframarginal analysis represents a methodology that extends marginalanalysis, using non-classical mathematical programming, in efforts toinvestigate corner solutions and indivisibilities. As such thisapproach has been used to reintroduce classical insights regarding thedivision of labor and economi...
