Two cone equilibrium

A free-trade equilibrium in the Heckscher-Ohlin Model in which prices are such that all goods cannot be produced within a single country, and instead there are two diversification cones. This, or a multi-cone equilibrium, will arise if countries' factor endowments are sufficiently dissimilar compared to factor intensities of industries. Contrasts with one cone equilibrium.

Partial equilibrium

Partial equilibrium

Equality of supply and demand in only a subset of an economy's markets -- usually just one -- taking variables from other markets as given. Partial equilibrium models are appropriate for products that constitute only a negligibly small part of the economy. They are used routinely (not always appropriately) for analysis of trade policies in single industries. Contrasts with general equilibrium.


Market equilibrium

Market equilibrium

Equality of supply and demand. See equilibrium.


One cone equilibrium

One cone equilibrium

A free-trade equilibrium in the Heckscher-Ohlin Model in which prices are such that all goods can be produced within a single country, and there is only one diversification cone. This will arise if countries' factor endowments are sufficiently similar compared to factor intensities of industries. Contrasts with multi-cone equilibrium.


Equilibrium rate of interest

Equilibrium rate of interest

The interest rate that clears the market. Also called the trade-clearing interest rate.


Nash equilibrium

Nash equilibrium

An equilibrium in game theory in which each player's action is optimal given the actions of the other players. E.g., in a tariff-and-retaliation game, with each country able to improve its terms of trade with a tariff, zero tariffs are not Nash, since each can do better by raising its tariff. A Nash equilibrium, with positive tariffs, is likely to be inferior to free trade for both.
