چکیده
We study the impact of international trade on a firm’s technology choice in an infinite-horizon model. Banks engage oligopolistic competition providing capital for manufacturing sector. Manufacturing firms also and choose technologies with different levels fixed marginal costs. In steady state, country larger market size or more efficient financial sector advanced technologies, this has higher stock. The opening leads to steady-state stock increases.

Trade Liberalisation and Technology Choice
This paper considers the links between trade liberalisation and technology choice in the nonliberalising country. Trade-liberalisation-induced changes in relative product prices have direct effects on equilibrium relative factor returns. The consequent changes in relative input costs may also lead producers to switch to alternative technologies, which will in turn induce a further indirect chan...

متن کاملIntermediate Goods Trade, Technology Choice and Productivity
We develop a dynamic model of intermediate goods trade in which the pattern and the extent of intermediate goods trade are endogenous. We consider a small open economy whose nal good production employs an endogenous array of intermediate goods, from low technology (high cost) to high technology (low cost). The underlying intermediate goods technology evolves over time. We allow for endogenous ...
متن کاملTrade, Patents and International Technology Diffusion
This paper investigates international technology diffusion through trade and patenting in a sample of 48 countries for the period 1980 – 2000. We divide the sample in three income groups to detect different patterns of technology absorption. Our results show that rich countries benefit from domestic technology and foreign technology embodied in imported capital goods, middle-income countries en...
متن کاملInternational Trade, Technology Diffusion, and the Role of Diffusion Barriers
This paper assesses the welfare impact of trade and technology diffusion as well as the change in the cross-country distribution of GDP due to removal of trade costs and diffusion barriers. The model extends the multi-country Ricardian trade model of Alvarez and Lucas (2007) to include technology diffusion with diffusion barriers. A key feature of the model is that some countries export goods p...
