Abstract
⺠This paper analyzes the growth and welfare effects of opening to trade within a North-South framework. ⺠The model predicts intra-industry trade and specialization over different quality vintages. ⺠Opening to trade is beneficial for growth and welfare of both regions, but increases the North-South quality gap. ⺠Stronger IPR protection increases the gap and has a negative effect on the world growth and welfare.
