Recent trends and structural breaks in US and EU15 labour productivity growth
Turner, Laura; Boulhol, Hervé - HAL - 2010
This paper examines shifts in labour productivity growth in the United States and in Europe between 1970 and 2007 based … productivity growth up to 2009 in order to detect breaks depending on confidence intervals of the projections. The identification … of structural breaks in US labour productivity growth is far from obvious. A statistically significant break is found in …

Knowledge intensive business services and long term growth
Desmarchelier, Benoit; Djellal, Faridah; Gallouj, Faïz - HAL - 2012
The goal of this paper is to (re)assess the relationship between knowledge intensive busi- ness services (KIBS) and the economic growth. Taking into account various conflicting relationships between KIBS and growth, we build a multi agent-based system involving industrial firms,...

Urbanisation and changes in the sectoral structure of economic development: the scale of the manufacturing sector in Chinese cities and the shift towards service industry
Daniels, Peter; Ni, Pengfei - HAL - 2014
There are many dimensions to the evolving economic development model in China and the role for urbanization within it. One key component is a requirement to incorporate a wider range of service industries, especially in the nation's fast-growing cities where there is demand for knowledge and...

Heterogeneity matters: labour productivity differentiated by age and skills
Roger, Muriel; Wasmer, Malgorzata - HAL - 2009
This study aims at evaluating the actual profile of marginal productivity across the age groups within the workforce …. As age-productivity profile might differ between occupations, we differentiate the workforce simultaneously by skills … dataset for manufacturing, services and trade sectors. Labour productivity is found to be the lowest for the low-skilled older …

Endogenous Structural Change and Climate Targets : Modeling experiments with Imaclim-R
Crassous, Renaud; Hourcade, Jean Charles; Sassi, Olivier - HAL - 2006
This paper envisages endogenous technical change as resulting from the interplay between the economic growth engine, consumption, technology and localization patterns. We perform numerical simulations with the recursive dynamic general equilibrium model IMACLIM-R to study how modeling induced...

Stability tests for heterogeneous panel data
Chan, Félix; Mancini-Griffoli, Tommaso; Pauwels, Laurent L. - HAL - 2006
This paper proposes a new test for structural instability in heterogeneous panels. The test builds on the seminal work of Andrews (2003) originally developed for time series. It is robust to non-normal, heteroskedastic and serially correlated errors, and allows for the number of post break...
