North-South Technology Transfer in Unionised Multinationals

Lommerud, Kjell Erik - 2010

We study how incentives for North-South technology transfers in multinational enterprises are affected by labour market institutions. If workers are collectively organised, incentives for technology transfers are partly governed by firms' desire to curb trade union power. This will affect not...

Compliance Technology and Self-Enforcing Agreements

Harstad, Bård - 2015

We analyze a repeated game in which countries are polluting as well as investing in technologies. While folk theorems point out that the first best can be sustained as a subgame-perfect equilibrium when the players are sufficiently patient, we derive the second best equilibrium when they are...

Market Power of the Input Supplier, Technology Transfer and Consumer Welfare

Cao, Jiyun - 2014

It is believed that market power of the input supplier, charging a linear price, is detrimental for the consumers since it creates the double marginalisation problem. We show that this view may not be true if the final goods producers can adopt strategies to reduce rent extraction by the input...

Intellectual Property Rights, Multinational Firms and Technology Transfers

Biancini, Sara - 2018

Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protect firms from imitation and are considered crucial to promote innovation and technological diffusion. This paper examines the impact of IPR on import sourcing decisions of multinationals. We consider a framework in which firms offshore production of an...

Technology Transfers for Climate Change

Elsayyad, May - 2014

This paper considers investments in cost-reducing technology in the context of contributions to climate protection. Contributions to mitigating climate change are analyzed in a two-period model where later contributions can be based on better information, but delaying the contribution to the...

Intellectual Property Rights, Technology Transfer and Exports in Developing Countries

Yang, Lei; Maskus, Keith E. - 2021

We develop a model to analyze one mechanism under which stronger intellectual property rights (IPR) protection may improve the ability of firms in developing countries to break into export markets. A Northern firm with a superior process technology chooses either exports or technology transfer...

Market Structure, Technological Gap and Vertical Linkage Effects from Foreign Direct Investment

Kadochnikov, Sergey; Drapkin, Igor M. - 2021

market structure of the final goods sector is represented by a monopoly or Cournot oligopoly, and the supplier sector - by a … pure monopoly. We extend this model by examining cases of perfect competition and a vertically integrated domestic company …, minimum - under monopoly in this sector, and medium size - when a vertically integrated local firm exists in the market. We …

Intermediate Goods Trade, Technology Choice and Productivity

Peng, Shin Kun - 2016

We develop a dynamic model of intermediate goods trade in which the pattern and the extent of intermediate goods trade are endogenous. We consider a small open economy whose final good production employs an endogenous array of intermediate goods, from low technology (high cost) to high...

Productivity and the Decision to Import and Export : Theory and Evidence

Kasahara, Hiroyuki - 2008

This paper develops an open economy model with heterogeneous final goods producers who simultaneously choose whether to export their goods and whether to use imported intermediates. The model highlights mechanisms whereby import policies affect aggregate productivity, resource allocation, and...
