''The welfare effects of international trade with optimistic and pessimistic managers''
( 2004, Vol. 6 No.15 )
 
 
This paper investigates the welfare effects of international trade when technological idiosyncratic risk is distorted by optimistic and pessimistic managers. We show that free trade always improves the ex-ante welfare but sometimes lowers the ex-post welfare. Free trade commitment can be regretted ex-post.
