- Title
- "Deep Regional Trade Agreements and Cross-border Technology Transfer: Theory and Evidence"
- Abstract
- In this study, we examine whether deep regional trade agreements (RTAs) facilitate cross-border technology transfer. As a mode of technology transfer, we focus on licensing. We first derive a micro-founded structural gravity equation for cross-border licensing from a model in which heterogeneous firms choose to supply their goods to foreign markets by exports, foreign direct investment, or licensing. We show several comparative statics results regarding the effects of changes in fixed costs of serving the destination country, the freeness of trade, and the strength of intellectual property right (IPR) protection on exports of licensing fees. We then empirically test predictions from our model by using data on bilateral exports of royalties and licensing fees for 181 countries/regions for the period 1995-2012. Various dummy variables are used to measure the impact of shallow and deep RTAs. Consistent with our theoretical prediction, we find that a shallow RTA without IPR provision may reduce total exports of licensing and that a deep RTA with legally enforceable IPR provision will increase total exports of licensing. The net effect of forming a deep RTA is positive.

- Title
- "Endogenous repo cycles" (with Vyacheslav Arbuzov, Yu Awaya, and Hiroki Fukai), June 2019
- Abstract
- This paper presents a simple and tractable equilibrium model of repos, where col-lateralized credit emerges under limited commitment. We show that even if there is no time variation in fundamentals, repo markets can fluctuate endogenously over time. In our theory, repo market fragilities are associated with endogenous fluctuations in trade probabilities, collateral values, and debt limits. We show that the collateral premium of a durable asset will become the lowest right before a recession and the highest right after the recession and that secured credit is acyclical.

- Title
- “Causal Random Forests Model using Instrumental Variable Quantile Regression”
- Abstract
- We propose an econometric procedure based mainly on the generalized random forests method of Athey, Tibshirani and Wager (2019, The Annals of Statistics). Not only does this process estimate the conditional quantile treatment effect nonparametrically, but our procedure yields a measure of variable importance in terms of heterogeneity among control variables. We also apply the proposed procedure to reinvestigate the distributional effect of 401(k) participation on net financial assets, and the quantile earnings effect of participating in a job training program.

- Title
- Helicopter Drops of Money under Secular Stagnation
- Abstract
- What are the effects of helicopter drops of money under secular stagnation? This paper shows that, if the government cannot sustain a Ponzi debt scheme under full employment, then helicopter drops of money cannot transfer real wealth to households under secular stagnation. In that case, despite being in a permanent liquidity trap, a one-off helicopter drop triggers an upward jump in the price level, without any real effect on the economy. Conversely, if a Ponzi scheme can be sustained, then the helicopter drop can stimulate aggregate demand by raising household wealth. If the stagnation real interest rate is larger than the economic growth rate, the economy converges to full employment and a sustainable Ponzi scheme and, otherwise, it gradually reverts back to stagnation. Finally, continuous helicopter drops of money under stagnation must induce the economy to reach a full employment steady state, with or without a Ponzi scheme.

- Title
- Startups and Upstarts (co-authored with Vijay Krishna)
- Abstract
- We study a continuous-time R&D race between an established firm and a startup under asymmetric information. R&D investment brings success stochastically but only if the innovation is feasible. The only asymmetry between the firms is that the established firm has better information about the feasibility of the innovation. We show that there is an equilibrium in which the poorly-informed startup wins more often, and has higher expected profits, than the better-informed incumbent. When the informational asymmetry is large, this is the unique equilibrium outcome. Even though better information is available competitive disadvantage, the value of information is positive.
