In this paper, we combine the export-led and import-led growth hypotheses in a growth model in which the importation of foreign capital goods and the demand elasticities of own export products explain the growth opportunities and the technical progress of developing countries. This model, based...

The literature on aid effectiveness has focused more on recipient policies than the determinants of aid allocation yet a consistent result is that political allies obtain more aid from donors than non-allies. This paper shows that aid allocated to political allies is ineffective for growth,...

We propose a framework to analyze convergence between regions, incorporating the public sector and technological knowledge spillovers in the context of a Neoclassical Growth Model. Secondly, we apply novel estimation methods pertaining to the spatial econometrics literature introducing a spatial...

This paper constructs a growth model in which monopolistically competing firms choose the characteristic of their own product from an unbounded product space. While consumers wish to satisfy various needs by purchasing a diverse range of goods, production costs are lower for those goods that are...

This paper uses adynamic model to analyse the effects of liberalisation on the long-run output and transitional growth of the Vietnamese rice sector during the period of reform from 1981 to the present. In particular, the paper attempts to allow for the incentive effects which can result if...

This paper provides a framework with which to analyse growth in a small economy with perfect capital mobility. It provides a diagrammatic representation of steady states which differs in interesting and important ways from the usual closed-economy Solow-Swan diagram. The paper also analyses...

This paper develops a growth model with two countries, where researchers use formerly developed intermediate goods as inputs. It is found that trade liberalization in these goods speeds up the growth rate if trade costs initially are small and we allow internatinal wages to differ. On the other...

Following Jones and Williams (2000), we assume that R&D is simultaneously subject to positive and to negative external effects (e.g., the non rival nature of technology conflicts with congestion externalities). This observation allows to conceive an economy where two R&D sectors evolve without...
