Process spillovers and growth
Luckraz, Shravan - 2008

Learning, bounded memory, and inertia
Alós-Ferrer, Carlos - 2008
This paper considers bounded-memory players in a coordination game, who imitate the most successful remembered actions. With exogenous inertia, risk-dominant equilibria are selected independently of the length of memory. Without inertia, Pareto-dominant equilibria arise when memory is long enough.

Grieben, Wolf-Heimo; Şener, Fuat - 2009
We construct a two-country North–South Product-cycle model of trade with endogenous growth and trade barriers. We remove the scale effects on growth by incorporating rent protection activities by Northern incumbents. We examine the effects of two forms of globalization – an expansion of the...
