Primes

• Constraint Release
  • The enemy-release hypothesis from ecology ports to trade liberalization revealing suppressed competitive capacity

    This sourceModels how trade liberalization reveals and reallocates suppressed competitive capacity across heterogeneous firms.

• Gains from Trade
  • Extending the firm-heterogeneity perspective of Melitz (2003) beyond international trade, the abstraction's structural roles map cleanly onto non-economic substrates.

    This sourceFirm-heterogeneity model in which trade reallocates resources to more-productive firms, raising aggregate productivity; supports both the Knowledge-Transfer mapping (firm-heterogeneity perspective) and the T5 tension (specialization concentrating capacity in high-productivity firms, raising tail-risk).

Domain-specific

• New trade theory
  • The entry records a descriptive analytical identity; practical use requires the governing domain's evidence, standards, and safety obligations.
