“…In a North–South endogenous growth model with offshoring, Naghavi and Ottaviano (, ) analyze the effect of contracts in relation to offshoring. Elsewhere, Morita () investigates not only the steady state but also the transition of an economy using a North–South endogenous growth model with outsourcing. Rodríguez‐Clare () analyzes the effect of offshoring on relative wages in Eaton and Kortum's () models with offshoring.…”

In this paper, I formulate a simple North–South R&D‐based growth model where final goods firms in the North endogenously determine the range of international outsourcing of intermediate goods to the South. I show that a fall in the trade cost (through trade liberalization) of intermediate goods in the North: (i) reduces the wage of the North relative to that of the South; (ii) increases the outsourced variety of intermediate goods in the North; and (iii) stimulates Northern R&D activity and economic growth in both countries. By conducting welfare analysis, I also show that a decline in the trade cost of intermediate goods in the North improves welfare in the South more than in the North.

To examine how intellectual property rights protection affects trade, growth, and welfare, I develop a two‐country R&D‐based growth model in which final goods firms in both countries determine the range of imported varieties in the overall use of intermediate inputs. I show that strengthening patent protection in either country increases the range of imported varieties of intermediate goods and stimulates economic growth in the country that strengthened patent protection. Moreover, I also show that the Nash equilibrium level of patent protection is stronger than the globally optimal level of patent protection.
