This paper develops a North-South quality-ladder model with northern innovative R&D, southern adaptive R&D and imitative R&D to analyze the effects of tariffs on innovation, technology transfer, relative wage and welfare. We find that increasing southern tariff decreases the relative wage...

This paper explores the heterogeneity of international productivity spillover by applying spatial production models with various weight matrices. Specifically, the direction and magnitude of productivity spillover through the channel of import flow is examined empirically by dividing the sample...
