  Learning-by-Trading and Commercial Policy
 
 
Title: Learning-by-Trading and Commercial Policy
Author: Webb, Michael
Appeared in: International economic journal
Paging: Volume 7 (1993) nr. 4 pages 1-15
Year: 1993
Contents: I first review the evidence that trade directly promotes technological progress, and of the roles of preparing-by-doing and adapting-by-doing. I use a simple model to show that when trade directly promotes progress, there may be a first-best argument for temporarily subsidizing trade. In analyze learning-by-trading in combination with preparing-by-doing or adapting-by-doing, plus the intersectoral spread of acquired technology. Two policy conflicts can occur that reverse policy prescriptions over time, calling for the sequential use of trade impediments and subsidies or production taxes and subsidies. [F 13]
