Trade union objectives and economic growth
Irmen, Andreas; Wigger, Berthold U. - 2001
A trade union whose purpose is to raise wages above the competitive level may foster economic growth if it succeeds in shifting income away from the owners of capital to the workers and if the workers' marginal propensity to save exceeds the one of capitalists. We make this point in an...

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...

The supply of hours worked and fluctuations between growth regimes
Iong, Ka-Kit; Irmen, Andreas - 2021
Declining hours of work per worker in conjunction with a growing work force may give rise to fluctuations between growth regimes. This is shown in an overlapping generations model with two-period lived individuals endowed with Boppart-Krusell preferences (Boppart and Krusell (2020)). On the...
