在本文中,我建立了一个简单的基于研发的南北增长模型,其中北方的最终产品公司内生地决定了中间产品向南方的国际外包范围。我证明了北方中间产品贸易成本的下降(通过贸易自由化):(I)降低了北方相对于南方的工资;增加北方外包的中间产品种类;(三)刺激北方研发活动和两国经济增长。通过福利分析,我还表明,北方中间产品贸易成本的下降对南方福利的改善大于北方。
In this paper, I formulate a simple North–South R&D‐based growth model where final goods firms in the North endogenously determine the range of international outsourcing of intermediate goods to the South. I show that a fall in the trade cost (through trade liberalization) of intermediate goods in the North: (i) reduces the wage of the North relative to that of the South; (ii) increases the outsourced variety of intermediate goods in the North; and (iii) stimulates Northern R&D activity and economic growth in both countries. By conducting welfare analysis, I also show that a decline in the trade cost of intermediate goods in the North improves welfare in the South more than in the North.
