A General Model of Technical Change with an Application to the OECD Countries

Heshmati, Almas - 2011

In the neoclassical production functions model technical change (TC) is assumed to be exogenous and it is specified as a function of time. However, some exogenous external factors other than time can also affect the rate of TC. In this paper we model TC via a combination of time trend (purely...

Technical Change and Total Factor Productivity Growth for Chinese Provinces : A Panel Data Analysis

Shiu, Alice - 2006

We present in this paper the panel econometrics estimation approach of measuring the technical change and total factor productivity (TFP) growth of 30 Chinese provinces during the period of 1993 to 2003. The random effects model with heteroscedastic variances has been used for the estimation of...

Estimation of Technical Change and TFP Growth Based on Observable Technology Shifters

Heshmati, Almas - 2017

This paper models and estimates total factor productivity (TFP) growth parametrically. The model is a generalization of the traditional production model where technology is represented by a time trend. TFP growth is decomposed into unobservable technical change, scale economies and observable...

The Impact of Regulation on Innovation

Aghion, Philippe; Bergeaud, Antonin; Van Reenen, John - 2021

Does regulation affect the pace and nature of innovation and if so, by how much? We build a tractable and quantifiable … sharp reduction in the firm's innovation response to exogenous demand shocks for firms just below the regulatory threshold …. We then quantitatively fit the parameters of the model to the data, finding that innovation at the macro level is about 5 …
