Abstract
For a small country we analyze the effects of opening for trade on (sectoral and national) employment, production, profit and labor income, and on the country's welfare. We assume the sectoral capital inputs to be fixed. Moreover, the term 'short-run' denotes a time horizon in which wage rates have not yet reached their general competitive equilibrium values. We distinguish between several forms of wage rigidities (sectoral or general; downward or complete; in terms of different commodities and in terms of a constant-utility combination of commodities; rigidity of wage levels or sectoral wage differential). We try to draw a connection to the theory of temporary equilibrium with quantity rationing.
