To study the short-run and long-run implications on wage inequality, we introduce directed technical change into a Ricardian model of offshoring. A unique final good is produced by combining a skilled and an unskilled product, each produced from a continuum of intermediates (tasks). Some of...

Using a dataset of 104 countries over a period from 1966 to 2004, this paper analyses the relevance of country specific shocks for income volatility in open economies. We show that exposure to country specific shocks has a positive and significant impact on GDP volatility. In particular, we find...

Unlike the impact on patent count, we do not find that VC investment … impact on patent count at industry level, and this impact is larger than that of R&D expenditures. We confirm that this … and material. Therefore, our finding suggests that, at industry level, VC investment increases the patent propensity but …
