讲座简介:
Firms in the Global South often depend on a small set of Global North incumbents for critical upstream technologies. How can they sustain innovation when access to these inputs is restricted not by any single partner, but by an across-the-board supply constraint? To answer this question, we develop the concept of dependence reconfiguration, arguing that constrained firms can redirect exchange relationships away from concentrated upstream suppliers toward distributed downstream users and developers. Using the October 2022 U.S. export controls on advanced semiconductors as a quasi-natural experiment, we show that affected Chinese AI firms increased their release of open source projects under permissive licenses, as well as their use of external developers in gatekeeping the projects; these governance changes in turn facilitate greater adoption of, and contributions to, these projects by downstream users and developers around the world. Our paper contributes by theorizing and showing how Global South firms sustain innovation under technological restrictions through a strategy of dependence configuration in the form of open source innovation.
