Abstract

The paper presents a dynamic model of North-South trade in which technological progress results from learning by doing in the tradable sector. In the absence of across country spillovers, we show that trade stimulates technological progress more in the South, so the technological gap closes. However, when many LDCs trade with the DC, the technological gap may not be completely closed if the initial gap is bigger than a threshold level; and the technological gap may even be enlarged if the initial gap is in an intermediate range. As an alternative to trading with the North, South-South trade is considered. [F43, O19]
