Vertical Integration and Distance to Frontier

Acemoglu, Daron; Aghion, Philippe; Zilibotti, Fabrizio - 2021

We construct a model where the equilibrium organization of firms changes as an economy approaches the world technology frontier. In vertically integrated firms, owners (managers) have to spend time both on production and innovation activities, and this creates managerial overload, and...

Vertical Integration and Technology : Theory and Evidence

Acemoglu, Daron; Aghion, Philippe; Griffith, Rachel; … - 2021

This paper investigates the determinants of vertical integration using data from the UK manufacturing sector. We find that the relationship between a downstream (producer) industry and an upstream (supplier) industry is more likely to be vertically integrated when the producing industry is more...

Entice-Br : The Effects of Backstop Technology R&D on Climate Policy Models

Popp, David - 2021

Recent attempts to endogenize technology in climate policy models have produced mixed results. Models including alternative technologies find large gains from induced technological change. However, technological progress in these models comes through learning-by-doing, which ignores the...

Entice : Endogenous Technological Change in the Dice Model of Global Warming

Popp, David - 2021

Despite growing empirical evidence of the link between environmental policy and innovation, most economic models of environmental policy treat technology as exogenous. For long-term problems such as climate change, this omission can be significant. In this paper, I modify the DICE model of...

The Impact of Plant-Level Resource Reallocations and Technical Progress on U.S. Macroeconomic Growth

Petrin, Amil - 2011

We build up from the plant level an "aggregate(d)" Solow residual by estimating every U.S. manufacturing plant's contribution to the change in aggregate final demand between 1976 and 1996. Our framework uses the Petrin and Levinsohn (2010) definition of aggregate productivity growth, which...

Sizing Up Market Failures in Export Pioneering Activities

Wei, Shang-Jin - 2017

We argue that existence of public good does not necessarily imply market failure, and illustrate this point in the context of international trade. An influential hypothesis states that export pioneers are too few relative to social optimum because the first exporter's action creates an...
