Geographic Localization of International Technology Diffusion

Keller, Wolfgang - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2001

Convergence in per capita income across countries turns on whether technological knowledge spillovers are global or local in a large class of models. This Paper estimates the amount of spillovers from R&D expenditures in major industrialized countries on a geographic basis. A new data set is...

A U-Shaped Europe? A Simulation Study of Industrial Location

Forslid, Rikard; Haaland, Jan I.; Ulltveit-Moe, Karen-Helene - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1999

This paper uses a full-scale CGE-model - calibrated on 1992 data - to investigate the effects of European integration on the location of industrial production. Our results reveal large differences among individual industries. Industries with high scale elasticities typically display a...

Knowledge Spillovers at the World's Technology Frontier

Keller, Wolfgang - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2001

Convergence in per capita income turns on whether technological knowledge spillovers are global or local. Global spillovers favour convergence, while a geographically limited scope of knowledge diffusion can lead to regional clusters of countries with persistently different levels of income per...

Agglomeration in a Core-Periphery Model with Vertically and Horizontally Integrated Firms

Ekholm, Karolina; Forslid, Rikard - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1997

-integrated firms is a counter-example to the strong agglomeration effects found in the CP model. A symmetric equilibrium will always be … stable and hence agglomeration is prevented. The introduction of vertically-integrated firms that can separate the location … original CP model and thus lead to more agglomeration. Second, it also tends to decrease the parameter space in which full …

A Many-Country Model of Industrialization

Breinlich, Holger; Cuñat, Alejandro - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2011

We draw attention to the role of economic geography in explaining important cross-sectional facts which are difficult to account for in existing models of industrialization. By construction, closed-economy models that stress the role of local demand in generating sufficient expenditure on...
