This study shows that the learning by doing (LBD) effect has substantial, both quantitative and qualitative, consequences for the international transmission of monetary policy. LDB implies that a country can increase its productivity-increasing skill level, at the expense of the neighbour, by...

LDB implies that a country can increase its productivity-increasing skill level by competitive devaluation, which happens at the expense of the neighbour...
