ope-l-0604: [OPE-L] Hans Singer (1910-2006) Singer first fled to Switzerland, then to Turkey and finally in early 1934 reached Cambridge and was granted a stipend to begin his life as a doctoral student officially under J M Keynes. Singer later had "revisited" his pioneering distribution of gains from trade and investment thesis on several occasions when he gave more emphasis to relations between different types of countries, rather than types of commodities and to the distribution of "technological power". Hans Singer argued that the character of technology available on the world market was a major obstacle to the unleashing of multiplier effects from local investment because it was neither labour-intensive nor did it employ much local labour in investment goods production. ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu /~cottrell/OPE/archive/0604/0004.html   (1309 words)
