- sIMONTINI DAs & AJITAVA RAYCHAUDHURI & sAIKAT sINHA ROY (2012): Immigration Versus Outsourcing: A Developing Country¡¯S View
This paper provides a comparative study between temporary immigration policy and product outsourcing process, from the low-income developing country¡¯s point of view, which is supply side constrained by the availability of skilled labour. A two-country general equilibrium model establishes an inverse relationship between temporary immigration quota and product outsourcing. Though temporary immigration quota enhances world welfare and the developed country welfare, its impact on welfare level of the developing country is uncertain. In the empirical part, a panel data analysis shows that real consumption level of a set of developing countries increases with an increase in product outsourcing, given an inverse relationship between product outsourcing and temporary immigration policy.

Using recent household survey data, this paper investigates how electrification affects female and male labor supply decisions within rural households in Nigeria. Focusing on matched husband-wife data, we propose to consider dependence in spouses' labor supply decisions and to address adequately zero hours of work using a copula-based bivariate hurdle model. In parallel, we opt for an instrumental variable strategy to identify the causal effect of electrification. Our findings show that such dependence is strongly at work and critical to consider when assessing the impact of electrification on spouses' labor supply outcomes. Electrification is found to increase the working time of both spouses in a separate examination of their labor supply, while the joint analysis emphasizes only a positive effect of electrification on husbands' working time.

RePEc:fip:fedlwp:2012-055 Save to MyIDEAS - Joshua Aizenman (2001): De-industrialization and Emerging Market Economies
A panel regression suggests that the manufacturing/GDP share reaches its peak when the developing country¡¯s GDP/capita reaches about 60% of the US GDP/capita, and that financial depth is associated with a higher manufacturing share. ... While de-industrialization would have occurred even in the absence of the emerging markets, their presence magnifies this process for the high-income countries.

The objective of this paper is to estimate an econometric model for analyzing the effects of intellectual property rights (IPRs) on technology transfer through the importation of capital goods, and on economic growth in 48 developing countries, signatories to the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights of the WTO, by using the simultaneous-equations model estimated by Seemingly Unrelated Regressionsduring the period 1970?... Our empirical results show that IPR protection positively affects economic growth in developing countries by attracting foreign technology embodied in capital goods. In addition, a developing country?s membership of the WTO promotes and encourages technology transfer through the liberalization of international trade.

Technology transferred from a developed country to a developing country may hurt the welfare of the latter: such a transfer may be immiserizing. ... Using a Ricardian setting, we build a two-country model taking into account the fundamental factors of the free trade equilibrium. Then we show that technology transfer is a shock which may result in a change of the specialization pattern of the developing country. ... Finally the specific conditions of a decline of the developing country?s welfare, following the technological transfer, are disclosed.
RePEc:cai:repdal:redp_213_0409 Save to MyIDEAS - Jinyoung Kim (2007): Catching-up and Falling-behind in Economic Development: A Human Capital Approach
This paper proposes an endogenous growth model where human capital is the engine of growth and can be transferred across countries via costly foreign education. Importing advanced knowledge by students abroad can improve a developing country¡¯s chance of catching up with a developed host country. An excessively wide difference in knowledge level between the two countries, however, can hamper the chance of catching-up because few students can afford foreign education. Taking these two counteracting forces into account, our model predicts that the relationship between income growth in a developing country and income gap will assume the form of an inverted-U schedule. ... We test the model¡¯s propositions and estimate the threshold using international panel data, which lends support to our theory.

Unilateral tariff liberalisation by developing nations is pervasive but our understanding of it is shallow. ... s pro-trade FDI raises the political economy cost of maintaining high upstream barriers. The third works via a general equilibrium channel whereby developing country?s participation in the supply chains of advanced-nation industries undermines their own competitiveness in final goods, thus making final good protection more politically costly. In essence, developing nations?

Business cycle fluctuations in developed economies (N) tend to have large and persistent effects on developing countries (S). We study the transmission of business cycle fluctuations for developed to developing economies with a two-country asymmetric DSGE model with two features: (i) endogenous and slow diffusion of technologies from the developed to the developing country, and (ii) adjustment costs to investment flows. Consistent with the model we observe that the flow of technologies from N to S co-moves positively with output in both N and S.
