The energy-bias of North-South technology spillovers: A global, bilateral, bisectoral trade analysis
Hübler, Michael; Glas, Alexander - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2013
We examine variations in the South-North ratios (emerging vs. industrialized countries) of energy and labor intensities driven by imports. We use the novel World Input-Output Database (WIOD) that provides bilateral and bisectoral data for 40 countries and 35 sectors for 1995-2009. We find...

Which indicators of absorptive capacity enhance import-induced South-North convergence in labor intensities?
Hübler, Michael; Glas, Alexander - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2013
We hypothesize that North-South trade is associated with knowledge spillovers that create labor productivity gains depending on various determinants of Southern absorptive capacity. We use the novel World Input-Output Database (WIOD) that provides bilateral and bisectoral panel data for 39...
