This research constructs a simple dynamic model to illustrate the micro-mechanism of industrial upgrading along the global value chains. Our model demonstrates the following results. (1) Firms in the value chains manage to upgrade from downstream to upstream stages by acquiring higher...

This paper constructed a simple model to illustrate the global supply chain profit sharing and industrial upgrading mechanism, from which it was found that the average profitability distribution in the different supply chain stages was determined by two main factors: (1) the average product of...

This paper studies the mechanism of the division of the gains in high-tech global supply chains. Motivated by the empirical observation which is widely discussed in international business literature so called “smile curve”, this paper demonstrates in a theoretical model that whether or not...

This study examines the non-linear cointegration relationship between real output and KOF indices of globalization (overall index and three main sub-indices) by employing the advanced quantile method. Based on using the annual data of G7 countries, our empirical results provide strong evidence...

We examine the effect of energy exports and globalization on economic growth using the bias-corrected least square dummy variable model in a panel of five South Caucasus countries (Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Russia and Turkey) over the period of 1990–2009. We provide evidence that higher...

Globalization is commonly defined as a strict economic path by most previous works, but it is really a fuzzy concept with unrestrained dimensions. While the ideological location of an incumbent political party is a powerful predictor of its policy position, the role of a political party in the...
