Marius Brülhart et al., « Achats publics et spécialisation internationale : l'effet d'entraînement », Economie internationale, ID : 10670/1.81zyto
This paper studies the consequences of home-biased public procurement on international specialisation. Using a model that features differentiated products and monopolistic competition, it found out that a country will specialise in the sector for which it has relatively large home-biased procurement, and we call this the “pull effect”. The empirical analysis, conducted on input-output data for the European Union, yields supporting evidence. JEL Classification: H5; F1; R3; R15.
