在一个国际寡头垄断模型中，分析了经济一体化、产品和工艺创新以及相关技能需求之间的相互作用。较低的贸易壁垒增加了外国竞争的程度。竞争企业的反应是更积极地投资，以降低生产的边际成本。此外，企业通过对产品创新的额外投资来降低其产品的可替代性。论文还表明，技术工人的相对需求可能会因此而增加。
The interaction between economic integration, product and process innovation, and relative skill demand is analyzed in a model of international oligopoly. Lower trading barriers increase the degree of foreign competition. The competing enterprises respond by investing more aggressively in lowering marginal costs of production. Moreover, firms reduce the substitutability of their products through additional investment in product innovation. The paper also shows that the relative demand for skilled workers may increase as a result.
