Diffusion of technology and convergence of income among countries
Oz, Sumru - 2014 - Preliminary version; April 9, 2014
of foreign direct investment (FDI), considering that the latter is an international technology diffusion channel …. Although FDI appears to be an important channel in the diffusion of technology models theoretically, empirical evidence related … to the effect of FDI on growth is ambiguous. By applying the approach of Ben-David (1996), which focuses on convergence …

Avoiding the trap : the dynamic interaction of North-South capital mobility and technology diffusion
Hübler, Michael (contributor) - 2009
This paper analyzes a stylized model of international capital mobility and diffusion of embodied technologies from North to South. The South can fall behind in terms of technologies or get trapped in a situation, in which it is unable to attract foreign capital and embodied technologies, if its...

The Global Diffusion of Ideas
Buera, Francisco J. - 2019
We provide a tractable theory of innovation and technology diffusion to explore the role of international trade in the process of development. We model innovation and diffusion as a process involving the combination of new ideas with insights from other industries or countries. We provide...

The energy-bias of North-South technology spillovers : a global, bilateral, bisectoral trade analysis
Hübler, Michael; Glas, Alexander - 2013
We examine variations in the South-North ratios (emerging vs. industrialized countries) of energy and labor intensities driven by imports. We use the novel World Input-Output Database (WIOD) that provides bilateral and bisectoral data for 40 countries and 35 sectors for 1995-2009. We find...

Comovement and catch-up in productivity across sectors : evidence from the OECD
Cornwell, Christopher Mark; Wächter, Jens-Uwe - 1999
A method for analyzing productivity convergence based on frontier production functions is proposed. It is examined whether departures from the frontier - country-level inefficiencies - exhibit long-run relationships and convergence. The method is applied to 1-digit industries of 14 OECD...

Innovation diffusion, technological convergence and economic growth
Andergassen, Rainer; Nardini, Franco; Ricottilli, Massimo - 2013
The paper investigates the mechanics through which novel technological principles are developed and diffused throughout an economy consisting of a technologically heterogeneous ensemble of firms. In the model entrepreneurs invest in the discovery and in the diffusion of a technological principle...

TFP convergence across European regions
Di Liberto, Adriana; Usai, Stefano - 2010
This paper proposes a fixed-effect panel methodology that enables us to simultaneously take into account both TFP convergence and the traditional neoclassical-type of convergence. We analyse a sample of 199 European regions between 1985 and 2006 and find the absence of an overall process of TFP...
