在本文中，我提出了一个南北内生增长模型，其中可以分析全球化对生产地点和增长的影响。在这个模型中，技术劳动力丰富的北方是世界上唯一的创新者。使用该模型，我说明了一个特别有趣的场景。全球化（贸易成本降低）导致差异化产品部门的生产向南方转移。因此，更多的资源转向北方的研发，世界的增长率提高。该模型有几个经验上一致的影响，如在全球化下，北方和南方的熟练劳动力与非熟练劳动力的相对工资上升。我还讨论了在这个模型中的全球化的福利影响。
In this paper I present a North–South endogenous growth model in which the impact of globalization on production location and growth can be analyzed. In the model the skilled-labor abundant North is the only innovator in the world. Using the model, I illustrate a scenario that is particularly interesting. Globalization (a reduction in trade costs) leads to a relocation of production to the South in a differentiated-product sector. As a result, more resources are shifted to R&D in the North, and the growth rate in the world increases. The model has several empirically consistent implications, such as rising relative wages of skilled to unskilled labor under globalization in both the North and South. I also discuss the welfare impact of globalization in this model.
