Transitional dynamics, convergence and international capital flows in two-country models of innovation and growth
نویسنده
چکیده
Global stability properties of dynamic two-country models can be easily studied in the case of international capital flows and simple capital market no-arbitrage conditions. With internationally constant relative productivities, long-run balanced growth path values for factor prices will hold on any equilibrium path unless one country experiences a period of no innovation. Innovation rates converge in the case of perfect international knowledge spillovers but long-run consumption levels and trade patterns are path dependent. The trade balance of the rich country is initially positive but after some time turns into a deficit.

Higher education is considered as the engine of development and growth because of its benefits for increasing research, knowledge and technological innovation in the country. Also, the cost of education is a representative of human capital and among the determining factors of regional inequalities. Improving the dynamics of growth in future and considering the role of education in this field, t...
متن کاملFinancial Development, International Capital Flows, and Aggregate Output
We develop a tractable two-country overlapping-generations model and show that cross-country differences in financial development can explain three recent empirical patterns of international capital flows: Financial capital flows from relatively poor to relatively rich countries, while foreign direct investment flows in the opposite direction; net capital flows go from poor to rich countries; d...

متن کاملEconomic Growth in an Interdependent World Economy1
The Solow-Swan growth model predicts that growth should be uncorrelated with the ratio of national investment to GDP. If capital markets are open, the model predicts instantaneous convergence of GDP per capita across countries. Convergence is achieved by capital flows from rich to poor countries and a consequence of these flows is that the ratio of national savings to GDP in each country should...
متن کاملInternational Credit Flows , Pecuniary Externalities , and Capital Controls ∗
This paper develops a dynamic two-country neoclassical stochastic growth model with incomplete markets. Short-term credit flows can be excessive and reverse suddenly. The equilibrium outcome is constrained inefficient. First, an undercapitalized country borrows too much since each individual firm does not internalize that an increase in production capacity undermines their output price and ther...
