  Knowledge Rent, Intangible Capital, and Core–Periphery Dynamics: Theory and Evidence

  Ateş-Saygılı, Çiğdem

  We study how ownership and pricing of intangible assets generate asymmetric macroeconomic dynamics between a core and a periphery. We develop a two-country dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model in which production uses tangible capital, domestically owned intangible capital, and rented foreign intangible services; the periphery pays a knowledge rent flow to the core, which acts as a wedge in its accumulation equation. Calibrated to observed income shares and depreciation patterns, the model yields sharp qualitative predictions. Following a positive technology shock in the core, core output jumps and consumption and labor rise persistently, while the periphery sees only modest output gains and slower capital build-up; a positive technology shock in the periphery can even reduce its output as rent payments drain resources, with only small, transitory effects in the core. A tighter repayment schedule modestly lifts core activity–mainly via consumption–while acting as a negative wealth shock in the periphery that lowers output, labor, and consumption. Sensitivity analyses–varying the periphery's intangible share and reliance on rented knowledge–preserve these qualitative rankings. Complementary evidence from OECD panels (2000–2019) using PVARs and state-dependent local projections shows that cross-border payments for the use of intellectual property co-move with financing conditions and macroeconomic dynamics, consistent with the model's mechanism. Policy implications include building domestic intangible capacity, easing diffusion at fair terms, and leveraging multilateral tools to reduce effective rent exposure in the periphery.

  Institutions, gendered informality, and intrahousehold distribution: A dual-economy model

  Ateş-Saygılı, Çiğdem

  We study how enforcement institutions shape formalization and the intrahousehold distribution of resources in a developing economy. The model combines an enforcement wedge inside informal technology, gendered formal-attachment margins, and a collective household with a state-dependent female Pareto weight. In the benchmark wage-responsive specification, enforcement raises formalization by compressing informal wages and reallocating work toward formal jobs. Yet aggregate formalization and women's intrahousehold gains need not move together. When women are more exposed to informality and men convert the induced formal-to-informal wage ratio into formal attachment more strongly in level terms, enforcement can lower women's relative earnings, relative formal status, the female Pareto weight, and the consumption ratio during adjustment. An exact effective-access transition and local calculations for the effective-access and reduced-form labor-disutility margins show that this adverse incidence can be offset within the model while preserving formalization gains. Descriptive quarterly evidence for Türkiye documents gendered dynamics in non-agricultural social-security non-registration around salient macroeconomic and institutional episodes. The empirical evidence motivates the labor-market exposure and access channels but does not observe household bargaining or individual consumption.
