2 The Imitation Lag Hypothesis –The Imitation Lag Hypothesis Michael V. Posner(1961) Imitation lag-demand lag=net lag –The Product Cycle Theory Michael V. Posner(1966) A typical “new product”(F2) Dynamic comparative advantage Test: there should be a positive correlation between R&D expenditures and successful export performance by industry. Dinopoulos, Oehmker and Segerstrom(1993)

3 The trade pattern in the Product Cycle Theory time Production, consumpti on of product production consumption New product stage Maturing product stage Standardized product stage Exports Imports

4 The Linder Theory Staffan Burenstam Linder(1961) Demand-oriented Overlapping demand International trade in manufactured goods will be more intense between countries with similar per capita income levels than between countries with dissimilar per capita income levels. Tests: the greater the difference between the per capita incomes of country and its trading partner, the less intensely the two countries will trade with each other.
