2014: On Smart SanctionsAbstract: In this paper, we develop a North-South endogenous growth model to examine three phases of development in the South: imitation of Northern products, imitation and innovation and finally, innovation only. In particular, the model has the features of catching up (and potentially overtaking) which are of particular relevance to the Pacific Rim economies. We show that the possible equilibria depend on cross-country assimilation effects and the ease of imitation. We then apply the model to analyse the impact of R&D subsidies. There are some clear global policy implications which emerge from our analysis. Firstly, because subsidies to Southern innovation benefit the North as well, it is beneficial to the North to pay for some of these subsidies. Secondly, because the ability of the South to assimilate Northern knowledge and innovate depends on Southern skills levels, the consequent spillover benefits on growth make the subsidising of Southern education by the North particularly attractive

2013: The German Motor Vehicle Industry: Costs and Crisis During the late 1980s and 1990s, Japanese expertise with their flexible and efficient motor vehicle manufacturing system posed a substantial challenge to the German automobile industry. The German industry, renowned for its high quality, struggled to maintain its competitiveness in the new environment. This research investigates cost characteristics of the German motor vehicle industry, using a translog cost function to examine economies of scale, relationships among the input pairs, and other issues involving the industry between 1975 and 2007. The findings include that German automobile production still has available economies of scale at its maximum output level; that the input pairs of capital and labor, capital and insourced intermediate goods as well as labor and insourced intermediate goods are complements, while the other input pairs are substitutes. However, not all of these input relationships are statistically significant. The industry has increased its use of imported (outsourced) inputs, and labor demand has become more sensitive to its own price as well as that of outsourced inputs. The results also suggest that the recent restructuring of the industry has been successful in increasing its international competitiveness
