We revisit Western Europe's record with labor-productivity convergence, and tentatively extrapolate its implications … for the future path of Eastern Europe. The poorer Western European countries caught up with the richer ones through both … Eastern Europe the employment share of agriculture is typically quite large, and agriculture is particularly unproductive …

Malthus to Solow

Hansen, Gary D. - 1998

A unified growth theory is developed that accounts for the roughly constant living standards displayed by world economies prior to 1800 as well as the growing living standards exhibited by modern industrial economies. Our theory also explains the industrial revolution, which is the transition...

Population, Technology, and Growth : From the Malthusian Regime to the Demographic Transition and Beyond

Galor, Oded - 1998

This paper develops a unified model of growth, population, and technological progress that is consistent with long-term historical evidence. The economy endogenously evolves through three phases. In the Malthusian regime, population growth is positively related to the level of income per capita....

Innovation, Competition and Welfare-Enhancing Monopoly

Darby, Michael R. - 2006

So long as the entry and exit of firms using the generic technology sets the price in an industry, one or more price-taking firms can coexist with proprietary technologies yielding more or less substantial quasi-rents to the sunk development costs. Consumer welfare is increased if an innovator...

Technological Diffusion, Conditional Convergence, and Economic Growth

Bloom, David E. - 2002

Technological diffusion implies a form of 'conditional convergence' as lagging countries catch up with technological leaders. We find strong evidence of technological diffusion but not full convergence; differences in total factor productivity (TFP) persist even in the long run due to differences...

Technology Adoption and Growth

Parente, Stephen L. - 1991

Technology change is modeled as the result of decisions of individuals and groups of individuals to adopt more advanced technologies. The structure is calibrated to the U.S. and postwar Japan growth experiences. Using this calibrated structure we explore how large the disparity in the effective...

We treat rising inequality is an equilibrium outcome in which human capital investment fails to keep pace with rising demand for skills. Investment affects skill supply and prices on three margins: the type of human capital in which to invest; how much to acquire; and the intensity of use. The...

Technology Diffusion and Postwar Growth

Comin, Diego A. - 2010

In the aftermath of World War II, the world's economies exhibited very different rates of economic recovery. We provide evidence that those countries that caught up the most with the U.S. in the postwar period are those that also saw an acceleration in the speed of adoption of new technologies....
