Technological diffusion and skill-biased technological change caused by foreign direct investment in EU Transition Economies

The technological spillover is divided into a neutral technological change and a skill-biased technological change. The first effect makes labor and capital mo...
متن کاملTechnological Change and Reallocation∗
This paper considers a technological change that can be utilized only by production units adapting to the new technology. A simple firm dynamics model is used to show such an innovation enhances reallocation, whereas a technological advance that is available to all production units does not. This implication is used in structural vector autoregressions to study the driving force behind cyclical...
