In a Krugman type of autarky environment, one was able to derive two equilibrium conditions. In particular, optimal prices charged by firms can be represented by: where els consumption per variety and is the productivity. At the same time, from free-entry, the average revenue being equal to the average cost can by represented by: 8=4+1 where is the total labor supply and f a fixed cost of production. What should happen to the average firm size in this economy when free-trade is allowed with an identical foreign economy? Average firm size doesn't change. Not enough information to answer. Average firm size increases. Average firm size decreases. 10000
