- Abstract
- In this paper, advanced economies are aggregated into ‘North’ whereas ‘South’
comprises the less advanced ones. Trade induced technology diffusion is source of
enriched technological contents. We also consider two scenarios: (i—“hub and
spokes [HAS]”) the North establishes separate bilateral FTAs with each South;
and (ii—“FTASS”) Southern economies jointly establish a full-fledged FTA with
North. Simulations confirm that: (i) North- South and South-South trade-led
technology diffusion induces TFP-growth; (ii) relatively less developed South
catches up; (iii) three regions experience welfare improvement; and (iv) ITenabled E-commerce facilitate trade. Public policies play role in catalyzing
international competitiveness, innovativeness and absorption.
