Implementing Results-Oriented Trade Policies : The Case of the US-Japanese Auto Parts Dispute
Krishna, Kala - 1996
Why would the US threaten punitive tariffs on luxury autos to implement a market share target in auto parts? We show that by making threats to a linked market, a market share may be implemented with fairly weak informa- tional and administrative requirements. Moreover, such policies can be both...

A Simple but Powerful Simulated Certainty Equivalent Approximation Method for Dynamic Stochastic Problems
Cai, Yongyang; Judd, Kenneth L. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021
We introduce a novel simulated certainty equivalent approximation (SCEQ) method for solving dynamic stochastic problems. Our examples show that this method only requires a desktop computer to solve high-dimensional finite- or infinite-horizon, stationary or nonstationary dynamic stochastic...

Quid Pro Quo, Knowledge Spillover, and Industrial Quality Upgrading : Evidence from the Chinese Auto Industry
Bai, Jie - 2020
While there is a vast body of research on the benefits of FDI in developing countries, whether and how the form of FDI matters have received limited attention. In this paper, we study the impact of FDI via quid pro quo (technology for market access) on facilitating knowledge spillover and...

Vertical Networks and US Auto Parts Exports : Is Japan Different?
Head, Keith - 2002
This paper develops a model in which upstream network insiders' conduct relationship specific investment that induces the downstream firm to transact within networks. The scale of destination-country production and part-specific measures of the importance of network relationships and engineering...

Complementarity and Cost Reduction : Evidence from the Auto Supply Industry
Helper, Susan - 1997
Over the last 20 years, the success of Japanese manufacturing firms has brought renewed attention to the importance of cost reduction on existing products as a source of productivity growth. This paper uses survey data and field interviews from the auto supply industry to explore the...
