The Role of Remittances and FDI for the Current Account: The Case of Cambodia
Abstract This paper develops a small open economy real‐business‐cycle model to examine the dynamics of Cambodian current account. Differing from previous studies, our model incorporates both net foreign direct investment (FDI) and remittances as additional sources of macro‐economic fluctuations. Our results reveal that these two factors, especially FDI,

A Discrete Two-Sector Economic Growth Model
This paper studies a key model in economic theory—the two-sector growth model—with an alternative utility function. We show that the system has a unique stable equilibrium when the production functions take on the Cobb-Douglas form.

The Welfare and Distributional Consequences of Corporate Tax Cuts in Open Economies
Abstract We develop an open‐economy heterogeneous household model with incomplete markets to quantitatively evaluate the welfare and distributional effects—both within and across countries—of the corporate tax cut (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, TCJA) implemented in the U.S. in 2017. The model allows for examining outcomes under various possibilities including

A Unified Approach to Estimating Production Functions: Proxy Variables and Dynamic Panel Data
ABSTRACT We propose a new approach to production function estimation that integrates the strengths of the proxy‐variable (PV) and dynamic panel data (DPD) methods. Our framework augments the set of instruments for the level equation in Blundell and Bond [8] with a Berkson‐type instrument motivated by economic theory, following Olley and Pakes [28 ...

The Substitution and the Revenue Effects for a Cobb-Douglas Utility Function [PDF]
In the consumer’s theory, a crucial problem is to determine the substitution effect and the revenue effect in the case of one good price’s modifing. There exists two theories due to John Richard Hicks and Eugen Slutsky which allocates differents shares ...

How the Threat of Knowledge Loss Drives Firms’ R&D Dynamism: A Threat Rigidity Perspective
Abstract Drawing on threat rigidity theory, this paper argues that the threat of knowledge loss gives rise to a threat rigidity effect in firms’ R&D function, that is, reduces their R&D dynamism. It further argues that the dampening of R&D dynamism is greater for firms more vulnerable to the threat of knowledge loss due to facing greater product market

Harnessing Star Power: The Distinct Effects of Star Inventors on Radical and Incremental Innovation
Abstract Star inventors are highly valuable resources, offering scarce knowledge and expertise that significantly enhance a firm's innovation performance. Beyond their expertise, what sets star inventors apart is their star status – a role that prescribes them high positions in organizational hierarchy and the power to steer resource allocation within ...

The Core‐Periphery Model Under Additively Separable Preferences
ABSTRACT This paper reexamines Krugman's core‐periphery model by substituting his constant elasticity of substitution (CES) utility with a general additively separable utility that comprehensively captures the pro‐competitive effect while preserving the income effect.

ABSTRACT This study develops a novel multivariate stochastic framework for assessing systemic risks, such as climate and nature‐related shocks, within production or financial networks. By embedding a linear stochastic fluid network, interpretable as a generalized vector Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process, into the production network of interdependent ...

A note on the Cobb-Douglas function
This note observes that the Cobb-Douglas function is uniquely characterized by the property that, if the labour share of cost for a constant-returns-to-scale firm remains constant when the firm minimizes its cost for any given output level, then the firm's production function must be Cobb-Douglas.
