Acemoglu, Daron - 2014

We develop a microeconomic model of endogenous growth where clean and dirty technologies compete in production and innovation--in the sense that research can be directed to either clean or dirty technologies. If dirty technologies are more advanced to start with, the potential transition to...

How Does State-Level Carbon Pricing in the United States Affect Industrial Competitiveness?

Casey, Brendan J. - 2020

Pricing carbon emissions from a jurisdiction could harm the competitiveness of local firms, causing the leakage of emissions and economic activity to other regions. Past research concentrated on national carbon prices, but the impacts of subnational carbon prices could be more severe due to the...

Resurrecting the Role of the Product Market Wedge in Recessions

Bils, Mark - 2014

Employment and hours appear far more cyclical than dictated by the behavior of productivity and consumption. This puzzle has been called "the labor wedge" -- a cyclical intratemporal wedge between the marginal product of labor and the marginal rate of substitution of consumption for leisure. The...

Why is pollution from US manufacturing declining? : the roles of trade, regulation, productivity, and preferences

Shapiro, Joseph S.; Walker, Reed - 2015

Between 1990 and 2008, emissions of the most common air pollutants from U.S. manufacturing fell by 60 percent, even as real U.S. manufacturing output grew substantially. This paper develops a quantitative model to explain how changes in trade, environmental regulation, productivity, and consumer...

Why is Pollution from U.S. Manufacturing Declining? The Roles of Environmental Regulation, Productivity, and Trade

Shapiro, Joseph S. - 2015

Between 1990 and 2008, air pollution emissions from U.S. manufacturing fell by 60 percent despite a substantial increase in manufacturing output. We show that these emissions reductions are primarily driven by within-product changes in emissions intensity rather than changes in output or in the...

Openness, Specialization, and Productivity Growth in Less Developed Countries

Weinhold, Diana - 1997

Many empirical studies have found a positive relationship between openness and growth in per capita GDP in less developed countries, and economists have produced many explanations for this correlation. However, the existing studies are consistent with all of these theories and thus do not...

Technology, Factor Supplies and International Specialization : Estimating the Neoclassical Model

Harrigan, James - 1996

The standard neoclassical model of trade theory predicts that international specialization will be jointly determined … by cross-country differences in relative factor endowments and relative technology levels. This paper uses duality theory …-neutral technology differences are measured using an application of the theory of total factor productivity comparisons, and factor …
