Offshoring and Directed Technical Change

Acemoglu, Daron; Gancia, Gino; Zilibotti, Fabrizio - Barcelona Graduate School of Economics (Barcelona GSE) - 2014

We study the short- and long-run implications of offshoring on innovation, technology adoption, wage and income …-abundant West to a skill-scarce East. Profit maximization determines both the extent of offshoring and technological progress …. offshoring induces technical change with an ambiguous factor bias. When the initial level of offshoring is low, an increase in …

Horizontal Innovation in the Theory of Growth and Development

Gancia, Gino; Zilibotti, Fabrizio - Barcelona Graduate School of Economics (Barcelona GSE) - 2005

We analyze recent contributions to growth theory based on the model of expanding variety of Romer (1990). In the first part, we present different versions of the benchmark linear model with imperfect competition. These include the "lab equipment" model, "labor-for-intermediates" and "directed...

Learning How to Export

Segerstrom, Paul; Stepanok, Ignat - Economics Institute for Research (SIR), … - 2010

In this paper, we present a standard quality ladders endogenous growth model with one significant new assumption, that it takes time for firms to learn how to export. We show that this model without Melitz-type assumptions can account for all the evidence that the Melitz (2003) model was...

Arnold, Lutz G. - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, Universität … - 2005

The transitional dynamics of open-economy endogenous growth models are largely unexplored. The present paper fills this gap in the literature. By applying the familiar Dixit-Norman (1980) approach to a general class of growth models, it provides original results on the transitional dynamics of...

The Jones R&D Growth Model: Comment on Stability

Arnold, Lutz G. - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, Universität … - 2005

The dynamics of most prominent endogenous growth models are well understood. One notable exception is the Jones (1995) R&D growth model. This paper provides an analytical treatment of this model's transitional dynamics. It is shown that, given constant returns to labor in R&D (as conventionally...

The Dynamics of the Romer R&D Growth Model with Quality Upgrading

Arnold, Lutz G.; Kornprobst, Wolfgang - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, Universität … - 2006

This paper replaces increasing product variety with quality upgrading in the Romer (1990) model. We show that the range of parameters for which a steady state exists can be divided into two subspaces with well-behaved comparative statics and saddle-point dynamics in one subspace, but with...
