Mohnen, Pierre; Röller, Lars-Hendrik - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2001

This Paper develops a framework for testing discrete complementarities in innovation policy using European data on … obstacles to innovation. We propose a discrete test of supermodularity in innovation policy leading to a number of inequality … constraints. We apply our test to two types of innovation decisions: to innovate or not, and if so, by how much. We find that …

Knowledge Dissemination, Capital Accumulation, Trade and Endogenous Growth

Ben-David, Dan; Loewy, Michael B - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1996

The theoretical framework presented here preserves many of the primary features of the standard neo-classical model, while introducing some modifications that transform it into an open economy endogenous growth model with knowledge accumulation. Knowledge accumulation is determined in part by...

Convergence Clubs and Diverging Economies

Ben-David, Dan - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1994

This paper focuses on the question of income convergence among countries. While the methodology used to determine convergence differs from the common cross-sectional approach, it corroborates Baumol's finding of a convergence club among the world's wealthiest countries. It also shows that there...

Trade and Convergence Among Countries

Ben-David, Dan - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1995

This paper examines the relationship between trade and income convergence by focusing on groups of countries comprising major trade partners. The majority of these groups exhibited significant convergence. Furthermore, a comparison of the trade-based groups with different, randomly selected,...

Slowdowns and Meltdowns: Post-war Growth Evidence from 74 Countries

Ben-David, Dan; Papell, David - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1995

Many countries, both industrialized and developing, appear to have experienced a slowdown in economic growth. We examine a large sample of countries and find that a majority exhibit a significant structural break in their post-war growth rates. In nearly all of these cases the break was followed...

The Great Wars, the Great Crash, and the Unit Root Hypothesis: Some New Evidence About An Old Stylized Fact

Ben-David, Dan; Papell, David - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1994

For decades, the prevailing sentiment among economists was that growth rates remain constant over the long run. Kaldor considered this to be one of the six important `stylized facts' that theory should address, and until the emergence of endogenous growth models, this was a fundamental feature...

Technological Convergence and International Trade

Ben-David, Dan - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1996

This paper builds on earlier evidence showing that, while most countries exhibit little evidence of unconditional income convergence, countries that trade heavily with one another tend to exhibit a much higher incidence of convergence. Two alternative explanations for the trade-related...

The Unit Root Hypothesis in Long-term Output: Evidence from Two Structural Breaks for 16 Countries

Ben-David, Dan; Lumsdaine, Robin L; Papell, David - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1996

Recent literature has documented the sensitivity of unit root tests to failure to account for structural change. This paper reconsiders international evidence on the unit root hypothesis while allowing for two structural breaks. We find evidence of two breaks in three-quarters of the data,...
