''Exchange rate uncertainty and international technology transfer''
( 2014, Vol. 34 No.1 )
 
 
We propose an incomplete contract model of licensing of a cost-reducing technology. We incorporate exchange rate uncertainty and analyze its impact on the parties' investment and licensing decisions. We show that exchange rate uncertainty introduces a distortion in the parties' specific investment decisions and could even prevent the transfer from taking place.
 
 
Keywords: Technology transfer; Licensing; Uncertainty.
