Deviations in Kilometres Travelled: The Impact of Different Mobility Futures on Energy Use and Climate
Longden, Thomas - Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) - 2012
The importance of a focus on mobility and the kilometres travelled using light duty vehicles is reflected in the persistence of strong demand for personal mobility and emissions that tend to be linked with population and economic growth. Simulation results using the WITCH model show that changes...

On the quantity and quality of knowledge - the impact of openness and foreign research and development on North-North and North-South technology spillovers
Schiff, Maurice; Wang, Yanling - Economics Research, World Bank Group - 2004
Knowledge accumulation means either new knowledge (an increase in its quality), greater access to existing knowledge (an increase in its quantity), or both. The authors examine the relative contribution of these two components of knowledge to total factor productivity (TFP) for North-North and...

R&D and aggregate fluctuations
Artuc, Erhan; Pourpourides, Panayiotis M. - Economics Research, World Bank Group - 2012
The research and development (R&D) sector is considered one of the main driving forces of sustainable growth in the long run. The sector, however, also shows excessive volatility which raises interesting questions regarding the sources of this volatility as well as the nature of the relation...

How trade patterns and technology flows affect productivity growth
Keller, Wolfgang - Economics Research, World Bank Group - 1997
Earlier studies of spillovers from international research and development (R&D) suggest how economies benefit from R&D conducted abroad. To the extent that countries importing new technologies do not pay in full for the increased variety in intermediate inputs in production, they are reaping an...

Trade-related technology diffusion and the dynamics of North-South and South-South integration
Schiff, Maurice; Wang, Yanling; Olarreaga, Marcelo - Economics Research, World Bank Group - 2002
This paper examines the impact on total factor productivity of North-South and South-South trade-related research and development (R&D) spillovers. It is the first to do so at the industry level for developing countries. North-South and South-South R&D flows are constructed based on...

On"indirect"trade-related research and development spillovers
Lumenga-Neso, Olivier; Olarreaga, Marcelo; Schiff, Maurice - Economics Research, World Bank Group - 2001
Influential literature argues that trade promotes knowledge flows and technology transmission between trading partners. This literature focuses on'direct'research and development (R&D) spillovers which are related to the levels of R&D produced by the trading partners. In this paper the authors...
