Energy biased technical change : a CGE analysis
Otto, Vincent M. (contributor);  … - 2005
This paper studies energy bias in technical change. For this purpose, we develop a computable general equilibrium model that builds on endogenous growth models. The model explicitly captures links between energy, the rate and direction of technical change, and the economy. We derive the...

Growth, Development, and Technological Change
Grossmann, Volker - 2007
The theory of endogenous technical change has deeply contributed to our understanding of the fundamental sources of economic growth and development. In this chapter we survey important contributions in the field by focussing on the basic structure of endogenous growth models with horizontal as...

Innovation, Inequality and a Golden Rule for Growth in an Economy with Cobb-Douglas Function and an R&D Sector
Welfens, Paul J.J. - 2015
The innovative approach presented introduces a modified neoclassical growth model which includes a new bias of technological progress in a quasi-endogenous growth model in which part of labor is used in the research & development sector. The combination of a macroeconomic production function and...

Unemployment duration in Germany : individual and regional determinants of local job finding, migration and subsidized employment
Arntz, Melanie (contributor); Wilke, Ralf A. (contributor) - 2006
Recent labor market reforms in Germany aim, among other things, at reducing unemployment by restricting passive unemployment measures, emphasizing local labor market policies and re-structuring public employment services. This paper uses extensive individual administrative and regional aggregate...

Modeling technological change in economic models of climate change : a survey
Löschel, Andreas; Schymura, Michael - 2013
The assessment of climate change mitigation policies through economic modeling depends crucially on assumptions under which technological change has been incorporated in the model. Earlier climate-energy-economics modeling attempts heavily relied on the assumption of exogenous technological...

Policy-induced environmental technology and incentive efforts : is there a crowding out?
Hottenrott, Hanna; Rexhäuser, Sascha - 2013
Significant policy effort is devoted to stimulate the development, adoption and diffusion of environmentally-friendly technology. Sceptics worry about the effects of regulation-induced environmental technology on firms' competitiveness. Since innovation is a crucial productivity driver, a...

Sequential identification of technological news shocks
Seymen, Atılım - 2013
In an influential recent paper, Beaudry and Portier (2006) propose a sequential approach for identifying technological news shocks. Thereby, the correlation coefficient between news shocks of a short-run identification scheme and technology shocks of a long-run identification scheme in the VAR...

Green innovations and organizational change : making better use of environmental technology
Hottenrott, Hanna; Rexhäuser, Sascha; Veugelers, Reinhilde - 2014 - This version - February 2014
This study investigates productivity effects to firms introducing new environmental technologies. The literature on within-firm organisational change and productivity suggests that firms can get higher productivity effects from adopting new technologies if complementary organisational changes...

South-North convergence from a new perspective
Hübler, Michael - 2013
This North-South model of Schumpeterian endogenous growth combines a market, productivity and knowledge effect. A set of various convergent and divergent growth paths is derived that is much richer than in the literature so far. South-North convergence based on North-South technology diffusion...
