Natural Resource Wealth and Directed Technical Change
This paper analyses the e¤ect of endogenous directed technical change in a resource-rich economy, embedding a version of Acemoglus model of directed technical change in a three-by-three trade theory model. Technical progress depends on entrepreneurs who either produce or adopt technology, and who endogenously choose which sector to operate in. The static e¤ect of a resource discovery is de-ind...

This paper investigates the relevance of government purchasing behavior for innovationbased economic growth. We construct a parsimonious Schumpeterian growth model in which demand from the public sphere can effectively alter the economy’s rate of technological change. We incorporate results of various empirical studies arguing that public sector demand acts as incentive for private innovation a...
متن کاملTechnological change, productivity growth, and unemployment
Constructing total factor productivity growth numbers free of the effects of business cycle variations is, as the large recent literature on the topic has shown, a difficult exercise. But the trend evolutions are clear. In most countries, TFP growth has been lower-often much lower-than it was before the mid-1970s. And the decrease in the underlying TFP growth rate appears to have been quite abr...
متن کاملGrowth, Cycles and Welfare: A Schumpeterian Perspective∗
We use a Schumpeterian model in which both the economys growth rate and its volatility are endogenously determined to assess some welfare and policy implications associated with business cycle ßuctuations. Because it features a higher average growth rate than its acyclical counterpart, steady state welfare is higher along the cyclical equilibrium growth path of the model. We assess the impact...
