Technological diffusion, spatial spillovers and regional convergence in Europe
Paci, Raffaele; Pigliaru, Francesco - 2001
convergence of GDP per worker observed across the European regions, in the absence of data on regional TFP. Second, the spatial … regional convergence in Europe. As for the first issue, our aim is to assess whether the convergence observed across European … regions is due to convergence in technology as well as to convergence in capital-labour ratios. We first develop a growth …

Long-Run Growth and the Evolution of Technological Knowledge
Hakenes, Hendrik; Irmen, Andreas - 2007
The long-run evolution of per-capita income exhibits a structural break often associated with the Industrial Revolution. We follow Mokyr (2002) and embed the idea that this structural break reflects a regime switch in the evolution of technological knowledge into a dynamic framework, using Airy...

Factor Substitution, Income Distribution, and Growth in a Generalized Neoclassical Model
Irmen, Andreas; Klump, Rainer - 2007
We analyze a generalized neoclassical growth model that combines a normalized CES production function and possible asymmetries of savings out of factor incomes. This generalized model helps to shed new light on a recent debate concerning the impact of factor substitution and income distribution...
