Innovation, Product-Cycle Trade, and the Cross-Country Distribution of Income

French, Scott - School of Economics, UNSW Business School - 2014

This paper develops a quantitative, multi-country model of endogenous growth, international trade, and international knowledge flows in order to understand how access to both foreign products and technologies, together, influences innovation incentives and the world distribution of income. An...

Maskus, Keith E.; Nishioka, Shuichiro - 2008

resuscitate HOV by introducing a simple Hicks-neutral (HN) factor-productivity adjustment, an approach that was heavily criticized …. In this paper, we re-examine the productivity question by estimating factor-specific productivities from the individual …-augmenting technological differences. In particular, the factor-productivity adjustment works well for developed members of the OECD. Further …

North-South trade liberalization and returns to skill in the south : the case of Mexico

This study examines the effect of NAFTA, an instance of North-South trade liberalization, on returns to skill in Mexico.

Technological change, trade, and endogenous factor endowments

Gundlach, Erich (contributor); Vaal, Albert de (contributor) - 2008

Factor endowments are usually taken as given in trade theoretical analyses of technological change. We use the Deardorff (1974) diagram to show how the steady state capital labor ratio endogenously adjusts to technology shocks in a two-sector small open economy, an effect which has largely been...

International specialization and the return to capital

Batista, Catia; Potin, Jacques - 2010

How does factor accumulation affect the pattern of international specialization and returns to capital? We provide a new integrated treatment to this question using a panel of 44 developing and developed countries over the period 1976-2000. We confirm the Heckscher-Ohlin prediction that, with...

Path interdependence in a dynamic two country Heckscher-Ohlin model

Gaitan, Beatriz; Roe, Terry L. - 2007

The closed economy neoclassical model predicts lung-run convergence in per-capita income. We show, within a neoclassical framework, that international trade among two countries differing only in their initial capital endowment generates long-run income differences. Our results suggests that...

Zimring, Assaf - 2015

Place-based college scholarships, such as the Kalamazoo Promise, provide students who live in a particular place, and/or who attend a particular school district, with generous college scholarships. An important potential benefit from such "Promise programs" is their short-term effects on local...

A complete characterization of the distributional effects of international outsourcing in the Heckscher-Ohlin model

Egger, Hartmut; Falkinger, Josef - 2001

This paper determines the distributional effects of internationaloutsourcing in a two sector Heckscher-Ohlin type model. It isshown that the factor-biased and the sector-biased impact ofinternational outsourcing discussed in the literature can be seenas special cases of the more general...
