South-North convergence from a new perspective

Hübler, Michael - 2013

-North convergence based on North-South technology diffusion through intermediate goods trade is guaranteed if the knowledge effect … dominates the productivity effect. Moreover, a larger Southern market expands the area of convergence and can prevent divergence … convergence is desirable for both, the South and the North. …

Avoiding the trap: the dynamic interaction of North-South capital mobility and technology diffusion

Hübler, Michael - 2009

This paper analyzes a stylized model of international capital mobility and diffusion of embodied technologies from North to South. The South can fall behind in terms of technologies or get trapped in a situation, in which it is unable to attract foreign capital and embodied technologies, if its...

A bioeconomic foundation for the nutrition-based efficiency wage model

Dalgaard, Carl-Johan; Strulik, Holger - 2008

Drawing on recent research on allometric scaling and energy consumption, the present paper develops a nutrition-based efficiency wage model from first principles. The biologically micro-founded model allows us to address empirical criticism of the original nutrition-based efficiency wage model....

The history augmented Solow model

Dalgaard, Carl-Johan; Strulik, Holger - 2010

Unified growth theory predicts that the timing of the fertility transition is a key determinant of contemporary comparative development, as it marks the onset of the take-off to sustained growth. Neoclassical growth theory presupposes a take-off, and explains comparative development by...

A theory-based discussion of international technology funding

Hübler, Michael - 2014 - April 2014

Climate policy negotiations identi ed international technology funding as a means of achieving carbon emissions reductions in developing countries. Such funds are now being realized. This paper is probably the first theory-based discussion of international technology funding. It sets up a Ramsey...

An integrated assessment model with endogenous growth

Hübler, Michael; Baumstark, Lavinia; Leimbach, Marian; … - 2012

We introduce endogenous directed technical change into numerical integrated climate and development policy assessment. We distinguish expenditures on innovation (R&D) and imitation (international technology spillovers) and consider the role of capital investment in creating and implementing new...
