This paper develops a theory for why a large country might be special when it comes to pursuing strategic trade policy. Traditional theory holds that, a large country should hold back its exports to improve its terms of trade. However, if the learning-by-doing effect exists, then a large country has an incentive to subsidize exports. In this paper, I present a formal industrial organization (IO) model to capture this story. I embed this IO structure into a trade model with three goods. I also conduct some counter-factual analysis and welfare analysis about various trade policies of the importer countries.
