We investigate the properties of a two-country dynamic Heckscher–Ohlin model that allows international borrowing and lending. As is well known, international trade patterns become undecidable when international borrowing and lending is allowed. To avoid this, we assume a consumable capital good to be nontradable. A key feature of our model is the existence of a continuum of steady state levels of capital stocks, which enables us to examine how the initial amount of physical capital and assets in each country affects the amount of capital and assets in the steady state.
