The paper analyses the welfare effects of immigration when some sectors of the economy are characterized by wage bargaining between unions and employers. We show that immigration is unambiguously beneficial if the wage elasticity of labor demand in the competitive sectors is smaller than in the unionised sectors. In the opposite case, the welfare effect of immigration is ambiguous; little immig...

Article history: Received 1 April 2011 Received in revised form 21 June 2012 Accepted 12 August 2012 Available online 30 August 2012 Notwithstanding their many environmental, economic and social advantages, renewable energy technologies (RE) account for a small fraction of the world's primary energy supply. One possible cause for this limited diffusion is that private investments in the RE sect...

While some forms of public-private partnerships are a feature of hospital construction and operation in all countries with mixed economies, there is increasing interest in a model in which a public authority contracts with a private company to design, build and operate an entire hospital. Drawing on the experience of countries such as Australia, Spain, and the United Kingdom, this paper reviews...

The majority of innovations are developed by multi-technology (or multi-sector) firms. The knowledge needed to invent new products is more easily adapted from some sectors than from others. Here, we study this network of knowledge linkages between sectors and its impact on firm innovation and aggregate growth. We develop a general equilibrium model of multi-sector firm innovation in which inter...

This paper examines R&D tax incentives in oligopolistic markets. We characterize the conditions under which tax incentives reach the socially desirable level of firmfinanced R&D spending. The outcome of the market depends not only on the level of technological spillover in the industry but also on the degree of strategic interaction between the firms. One major result emerges from the model: Th...
