Critically, these gains are concentrated among the most productive knowledge‐worker firms, consistent with ...

The Role of Remittances and FDI for the Current Account: The Case of Cambodia

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.
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

Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2007
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.
