David Ricardo’s scientific contributions

... From a review of literature, the relevant theories which are found to be related to intra and inter-firm technology transfer are the international trade theory, foreign direct investment (FDI) theory, resource-based theory, knowledge-based view of the firm perspective and organizational learning perspective. For example, the international trade theories, which consist of the classical trade theory (Ricardo, 1817;Smith, 1776), the factor proportion theory (Hecksher and Ohlin, 1933) and the product life cycle theory (Vernon, 1966(Vernon, , 1971Wells, 1968Wells, , 1969, are related to TT studies as these theories provide plausible explanations on how trades between countries contribute to the flow of production or goods and services which have brought along the technology embedded in them. The FDI theories are related to TT studies as these theories provide explanations on how FDIs by MNCs become the main channel for intra-firm technology transfer; where technology is transferred to MNCs' subsidiary or affiliates in the host countries. ...

... The origins of the "corn-ratio" argument, which according to Sraffa (1951: xxxi) formed the 'rational foundation' of Ricardo's early theory of profits, can thus be traced back to Smith's contention that the money price of labour is regulated by the money price of corn. It was on the basis of this contention that Smith had argued that a rise in the money price of corn (consequent upon a bounty on exportation) leaves the surplus-produce obtained in corn-growing (that is, the difference between the quantity of corn produced and the quantity of corn that the money wage must enable the workers to purchase) unaffected. ...
