Using trade variety measures to identify technical change

DOI

Motivated by growth models based on the variety of capital goods, recent empirical studies have established links between productivity and several trade-based measures of product variety, carrying the implication that these measures may represent technology. French and Gaucaite-Wittich (2009) study this implication by explicitely proposing the variety of capital goods available for production as a direct measure of the state of technology.
