The optimal transfer of capital and embodied technologies to developing countries
Hübler, Michael; Lontzek, Thomas S. - 2009
We study the North-South diffusion of technologies embodied in internationally mobile capital in a framework of intertemporal global welfare maximization. Convergence of the growth rates of technical change in the North and South always occurs in the long-run. However, the degree to which the...
