The Role of Patent Protection in (Clean/Green) Technology Transfer

Hall, Bronwyn H. - 2012

Global climate change mitigation will require the development and diffusion of a large number and variety of new technologies. How will patent protection affect this process? In this paper we first review the evidence on the role of patents for innovation and international technology transfer in...

Market Size, Division of Labor, and Firm Productivity

Chaney, Thomas - 2012

We generalize Krugman's (1979) 'new trade' model by allowing for an explicit production chain in which a range of tasks is performed sequentially by a number of specialized teams. We demonstrate that an increase in market size induces a deeper division of labor among these teams which leads to...

Does a Leapfrogging Growth Strategy Raise Growth Rate? Some International Evidence

Wang, Zhi - 2014

While openness to trade is a well-recognized hallmark of many successful emerging market economies known as "growth miracles," another component of the growth model is a leapfrogging strategy - the use of policies to guide the industrial structural transformation ahead of a country's factor...

An Intensive Exploration of Technology Diffusion

Comin, Diego A. - 2014

We present a tractable model for the analysis of the relationship between economic growth and the intensive and extensive margins of technology adoption. At the aggregate level, our model is isomorphic to a neoclassical growth model. The microeconomic underpinnings of growth come from technology...

Does Foreign Entry Spur Innovation?

Gorodnichenko, Yuriy - 2015

Using large firm-level and industry-level data sets from eighteen countries, we find that foreign direct investment (FDI) and trade have positive spillover effects on product and technology innovation by domestic firms in emerging markets. The FDI effect is more pronounced for firms from...

Foreigners Knocking on the Door : Trade in China During the Treaty Port Era

Keller, Wolfgang - 2016

Uneven development within countries suggests that domestic trade frictions are important. Trade flows within a country, however, are rarely observed. We employ a new dataset on trade between fifteen Chinese treaty ports to examine the importance of domestic frictions around the year 1900. The...

Adoption Curves and Social Interactions

Brock, William A. - 2010

This paper considers the observational implications of social influences on adoption decisions for an environment of perfect foresight adopters. We argue that social influences can produce two observable effects: 1) discontinuities in unconditional adoption curves and 2) pattern reversals in...
