Structural change in production networks and economic growth
Gaggl, Paul; Gorry, Aspen; Vom Lehn, Christian - 2023
This paper studies structural change in production networks for intermediate inputs (input-output network) and new capital (investment network). For each network, we document a declining fraction of production by goods sectors and a rising fraction of production by services sectors. We develop a...

Energy efficiency and directed technical change : implications for climate change mitigation
Casey, Gregory - 2022
I build a quantitative model of economic growth that can be used to evaluate the impact of environmental policy interventions on final-use energy consumption, an important driver of carbon emissions. In the model, energy demand is driven by directed technical change. Energy supply is subject to...

Dualism and cross-country growth regressions
Temple, Jonathan; Woessmann, Ludger - 2004
This paper examines whether growth regressions should incorporate dualism and structural change. If there is a differential across sectors in the marginal product of labour, changes in the structure of employment can raise aggregate total factor productivity. The paper develops empirical growth...

Skilled worker migration and trade : inequality and welfare
Bougheas, Spiros P.; Nelson, Douglas R. - 2010
We develop a two-sector, two-country model where trade is driven by technological differences. Each country is populated by large number of heterogeneous workers distinguished by their level of skills. Given that one country has a technological advantage in the skilled intensive good when we...

Economic challenges in the Anthropocene
Musu, Ignazio - 2013
The evolution during the Anthropocene is analyzed through the interaction between economic and technological development, characterized by the role of fossil fuels and by the progressive dominance of those with a higher energy and density power. The challenge is how to make the rising demand for...
