Redistribution and occupational choice in a Schumpeterian growth model

Garcίa-Peñalosa, Cecilia; Wen, Jean-François - 2004

We consider an R&D-driven endogenous growth model in which innovation is risky and agents are risk averse. Growth is determined by the occupational choice of agents who can either work in production for a wage or become entrepreneurs. In this context, we examine the impact of redistributive...

Population, population density, and technological change

Klasen, Stephan; Nestmann, Thorsten - 2004

In a model on population and endogenous technological change, Kremer combines a short-run Malthusian scenario where income determines the population that can be sustained, with the Boserupian insight that greater population spurs technological change and can therefore lift a country out of its...

Decision Initiation, Decision Implementation, and the Allocation of Decision Rights

Sloof, Randolph; von Siemens, Ferdinand - 2015

Institutions, Shared Guilt, and Moral Transgression

Rothenhäusler, Dominik; Schweizer, Nikolaus; Szech, Nora - 2015

Many tasks can only be completed if several people contribute. Likewise, many institutions, e.g. voting rules, require the support of several people to implement specific decisions. In such situations, individual costs from supporting may decrease in the number of supporters. This holds true for...
