ANDREA FOSFURI is an academic who published a paper in 1997 entitled Division of Labor and the Transmission of Growth. ANDREA FOSFURI published this work as part of a team: Arora, Ashish. Here is a description of this work: Thi,, paper studies how an independent upstream capital good sector in a technology based industry can act as a mechanism for the transmission of growth across countries. Technologies, once developed, can be ‘transferred' to other countries at low incremental cost. If there are upstream firms which specialize in providing technology and engineering services to downstream buyer firms, then the greater the number of such specialists, the greater the net surplus that buyers get. Since the number of specialists is determined by the size of the downstream sector, the growth of the downstream sector in leading countries (first world) has beneficial effects for the growth of the downstream sector in follower countries (less developed countries). We empirically test this proposition using a comprehensive data set of investments in chemical plants in the developing countries during the 1980s.
