这篇论文指出了这一新兴行业观点中的一个缺陷，这是以前的文献所忽视的。一个简单的模型首先复制了新兴行业的逻辑，但随后表明，在增长潜力较弱的“传统技术”存在的情况下，新兴行业的逻辑可能会失败。在保护主义下，国内生产商用低增长的替代方案替代先进技术，从而抑制了学习和经济增长。保护主义对发展的不利影响因先进投入品之间的互补性而被放大，在适当条件下，在三国的背景下也是如此。
This paper identifies a flaw in the infant industry argument that previous literature has ignored. A simple model first replicates the infant industry logic but subsequently shows that, in the presence of a ‘traditional technology’ with poor growth potential, the infant-industry logic is likely to fail. Under protectionism domestic producers substitute advanced technologies with the low-growth alternative, thereby inhibiting learning and economic growth. Protectionism's adverse effect on development is magnified by complementarities among advanced input goods and, under adequate conditions, in a three-country setting.
