34 Conclusion 1. New facts on the aggregate MPK - convergence and its channels 2. Trade integration as an important driver is consistent with the data 3. Quantify contribution of fall in trade cost as 30 % Equalized MPKs are the result of sectoral reallocation and (domestic) changes in factor endowments and do not indicate the absence of international financial frictions Universitat Pompeu Fabra Julia Faltermeier 34
