My thesis, "Three Essays in Trade, Growth and Direct Investment" contains three separate research projects, encompassing both of my primary fields, international trade and economic history.

The first, "Income-Dependent Consumption, International Trade and Income Elasticity: Empirical Evidence", is a cross-sectional study of the trade of 28 classes of goods, across 41 countries. Using a Heckscher-Ohlin-Vanek model with quasi-homothetic demand, I estimate the significance of preference non-homotheticity on country net-exports. Using these estimates I compute values for implied income elasticities at mean income. Homothetic demand specifications force all income elasticities to equal unity; however, preliminary results indicate that elasticities for 13 of 28 goods are statistically different from unity.

The second chapter, "European Industrialization and the Wealth of Nations: Was Adam Smith right?", is an historical look at Smithian growth theory. As a growth theorist, Smith has been criticized in the literature for omissions from his model, particularly technological improvement. However, as the only growth model published prior to the industrial revolution, Smith is an interesting case study. I present a two-sector Smithian growth model in which all agents make standard neo-classical optimization decisions. This model is run as a theoretical simulation, using the MPS-GE solver in GAMS. While Smith does contain serious omissions that modern growth models cannot overlook, I find that, as an ex ante predictor, Smithian growth theory does a remarkably good job at forecasting the growth path and structural change of the nineteenth century British economy, particularly with respect to the sectoral composition of the labor force.

The last chapter, Direct Investment and Trade: Empirical Evidence, contains an econometric test of assertions from the Markusen-Venables model. In this model, the decision to make a direct investment or to export is endogenously determined. A panel data set of six bilateral country pairs is used to test whether aggregate economic size, similarity in relative factor endowments and the size of trade barriers are statistically related to the ratio of direct investment activity to export activity. Results are generally supportive of the model. Country size is found to be positively related to the DFI:Export ratio. Additionally, the data suggest that the DFI:Export ratio responds differently to changes in explanatory variables when barriers are high or low-something that is asserted by the theoretical model.
