摘要:While the Helpman-Trajtenberg model is successful in explaining the macroeconomic
cycle generated by GPT in the context of a closed economy, open-economy implications
regarding GPT have received scant attention. We seek to fill such void in the previous
literature by developing a dynamic North-South trade model with GPT. Our major findings are:
1) the introduction of GPT causes a product cycle from the North to the South followed by a
reverse product cycle from the South to the North; 2) the presence of trading partner can
cushion the macroeconomic shock experienced by the North.
