Learning for Upgrading

Technology Upgrading with Learning Cost

Adoption of new technology requires diversion of human and physical resources from direct production activities to learning/adjusting activities, which could reduce productivity temporarily. Focusing on the existence of such “learning cost”, we derive a simple model on the optimal timing for technology upgrading. This model suggests that, other things being equal, a firm perceived to have bette...

CENTRE FOR THE STUDY OF ECONOMIC & SOCIAL CHANGE IN EUROPE SCHOOL OF SLAVONIC & EAST EUROPEAN STUDIES “Trade and Industrial Upgrading in Countries of Central and Eastern Europe: Patterns of Scale and Scope-based Learning”

The paper explores mechanisms that link trade and restructuring in countries of central and eastern Europe through a learning and industrial upgrading perspective. A theoretical model based on notions of scale (relative concentration in trade) and scope (changes in product variety) is introduced and applied, based on detailed product level data for six central and east European countries (CEECs...

Learning Directed Probabilistic Logical Models Using Ordering-Search

There is an increasing interest in upgrading Bayesian networks to the relational case, resulting in so-called directed probabilistic logical models. In this paper we discuss how to learn non-recursive directed probabilistic logical models from relational data. This problem has already been tackled before by upgrading the structure-search algorithm for learning Bayesian networks. In this paper w...
