We consider an R&D-driven endogenous growth model in which innovation is risky and agents are risk averse. Growth is … social insurance, thus encouraging innovation and accelerating growth. The general equilibrium effects of the reallocation of …

Long run economic growth goes along with structural change. Recent work has identified explanatory factors on the … demand side (non-homothetic preferences) and on the supply-side, in particular differential productivity growth across … these trends. The interplay of differences in productivity growth and in the substitution elasticity across sectors drive …

This paper argues that growth theory needs a more general “regularity” concept than that of exponential growth. This … offers the possibility of considering a richer set of parameter combinations than in standard growth models. Allowing zero … population growth in the Jones (1995) model serves as our illustration of the usefulness of a general concept of “regular growth”. …

What is the social value of innovations in Schumpeterian growth models? This issue is tackled by introducing the … concept of Lindahl equilibrium in a standard endogenous growth model with vertical innovations which is extended by explicitly … considering knowledge diffusion on a Salop (1979) circle. Completing markets by pricing knowledge allows us to compare the private …

The volatility of unanticipated output growth in income per capita is detrimental to long-run development, controlling … for initial income per capita, population growth, human capital, investment, openness and natural resource dependence … the black box and conditioning the variance of growth shocks on several country characteristics. Natural resource …

dynamic general equilibrium model with endogenous economic growth and heterogeneous overlapping generations. We calibrate the … model for the US economy. First, we establish that the net effect of a decline in population growth on the growth rate of … growth performance and for individual welfare. Third, we showthat the assessment of pension reform proposals may be different …

High income growth in many countries in East Asia and the Middle East has been accompanied by increasing income … interrelationships between inequality and economic growth. This paper develops a simple model to establish that the change in income … growth rate is a non-linear function of the income growth if policy makers try to influence economic growth. As a result …

This paper develops a two-sector R&D-based growth model with congestion effects from increasing urban population … slowdown in the modern sector. Eventually, economic growth may cease in the long-run. We also show that land dilution from a …

R&D-based growth theory suggests that a larger population size raises either the long-run rate of economic growth … heterogeneous agents and entrepreneurial innovations in which any form of scale effect is absent. A higher population growth rate … has a negligible, possibly negative effect on the long-run growth rate of per capita income. Long-run growth is sustained …
