Clean and dirty international technology diffusion
Bosetti, Valentina; Verdolini, Elena - 2013
This paper investigates the role of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protection and Environmental Policies (EPs) on clean (renewable) and dirty (fossil-based) technology diffusion from top-innovators. IPR protection and EPs are extensively debated policy tools, as IPR protection addresses...

Does globalization create superstars?
Gersbach, Hans (contributor); Schmutzler, Armin (contributor) - 2007
To examine the impact of globalization on managerial compensation, we consider a matching model where a number of firms compete both in the product market and in the managerial market. We show that globalization, i.e. the simultaneous integration of product markets and managerial pools, leads to...

Random encounters and information diffusion about product quality
Gabszewicz, Jean Jaskold; Marini, Marco; Zanaj, Skerdilajda - 2021
This paper explores how social interactions among consumers shape markets. In a two-country model, consumers meet and exchange information about the quality of the goods. As information spreads, the demands evolve, affecting the prices and quantities manufactured by profit-maximizing firms. We...

Patterns in global value chains integration, technology and employment structures in Europe : country and sectoral evidence
Bontadini, Filippo; Evangelista, Rinaldo; Meliciani, … - 2021
This paper provides empirical evidence on the relationship between patterns of integration in global value chains (GVCs), the ‘quality’ of such integration in terms of technological capabilities and the structure of employment in European countries and sectors. We study employment shares in...

Integrating south and southeast Asia through services value chain : the case of India and Thailand
Mukherjee, Arpita; Goyal, Tanu M. - 2015
Liberalisation and technological developments have led to the fragmentation of production and the emergence of the concept of global value chains. This has ushered in the role of services for linking the production network, resulting in a greater composition of services in the value of tradable....

Bridging the gap : do fast reacting fossil technologies facilitate renewable energy diffusion?
Verdolini, Elena; Vona, Francesco; Popp, David - 2016
The diffusion of renewable energy in the power system implies high supply variability. Lacking economically viable storage options, renewable energy integration has so far been possible thanks to the presence of fast-reacting mid-merit fossil-based technologies, which act as back-up capacity....

International technology diffusion : a gravity approach
Santacreu, Ana Maria - 2020 - This version: January 2, 2020
We derive a theory-based gravity-type equation that determines the main drivers of international technology diffusion under perfect enforcement of intellectual property rights. We estimate the gravity equation using bilateral royalty payments data for a sample of 53 countries and the period...

On the mechanism of international technology diffusion for energy technological progress
Jin, Wei; Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2015
efficiency-improving vertical innovation model where energy technological progress is specified as an improvement in primary … energy use efficiency. Then a variety-expanding horizontal innovation model is presented where energy technological progress … technology tend to diverge due to cross-country differences in indigenous innovation efficiencies and knowledge absorptive …

Technology spillovers embodied in international trade : intertemporal, regional and sectoral effects in a global CGE
De Cian, Enrica; Parrado, Ramiro - 2012
This paper uses a dynamic CGE model to assess the intertemporal and spatial dimension of technology spillovers embodied in international trade within a climate and trade policy framework. Three are the main contributions of the study. First, to include endogenous factor-biased technical change...

Regulatory distance and the transfer of new environmentally sound technologies : evidence from the automobile sector
Dechezleprêtre, Antoine; Perkins, Richard; Neumayer, Eric - 2012
This article examines the impact of environmental regulation within countries as well as regulatory distance between countries on international technology transfer. We employ a recently-assembled dataset of automobile emission standards and corresponding data on non-resident patent filing of...
