Gomes, Orlando - EconWPA - 2004
Economic phenomena are interrelated. From a growth perspective, time analysis concerning the choices of present and future consumption and the choices between the allocation of scientific resources should be combined with a space analysis regarding the dissemination of economic activity through...

The Optimal Control of Technology Choices
Gomes, Orlando - EconWPA - 2004
We may distinguish between two concepts of technology: a theoretical level of technology (that is, a technology possibilities frontier) and a level of technology in practice (that is, ready to use in production technology). Having these two concepts in mind, the paper develops an intertemporal...

IQ in the Ramsey Model: A Naive Calibration
Jones, Garett - EconWPA - 2005
I show that in a conventional Ramsey model, between one-fourth and one- half of income differences across countries can be explained by a single factor: The steady-state effect of large, persistent differences in national average IQ on worker productivity. These differences in cognitive...

Embodied technical change in a two-sector AK model
Felbermayr, Gabriel J; Licandro, Omar - EconWPA - 2002
capital are confined to the investment goods sector. We show that this setup, an endogenous growth extension to the model of … of the price of equipment investment relative to non- durable consumption and the increasing ratio of real equipment … investment to real output. The main difference to the one-sector AK model lies in the existence of obsolescence costs, which …

On the Distribution of City Sizes
Cordoba, Juan Carlos - EconWPA - 2003
The city size distribution of many countries is remarkably well approximated by a Pareto distribution. We study what constraints this regularity imposes on standard urban models. We find that under general conditions urban models must have (i) a balanced growth path and (ii) a Pareto...

Explicit Transitional Dynamics in Growth Models
Xie, Danyang - EconWPA - 2002
transitional dynamics can be gained at the expense of using special utility-production pairs. In continuous time framework …, necessary and sufficient conditions are established for a utility-production pair to yield explicit dynamics. These conditions …
