This is in contrast to the Brecher-Alejandro proposition that capital inflows with full repatriation are necessarily immiserizing for a small tariff-ridden economy. We find that welfare gains chances are greater (a) the higher the expenditure share of the capital-intensive differentiated good; (b) the lower the substitutability between brands; and (c) the lower the share of tariff revenue in national income.
