Learning, Complementarities, and Asynchronous Use of Technology
Jovanovic, Boyan; Stolyarov, Dmitriy - 2022
This paper deals with processes that require several complementary inputs subject to improvements in quality. If after a quality upgrade one of these inputs requires a period of learning before it can be used effectively, then in general it will pay to purchase the inputs at different dates --...

Innovation by Entrants and Incumbents
Acemoglu, Daron - 2010
We extend the basic Schumpeterian endogenous growth model by allowing incumbents to undertake innovations to improve their products, while entrants engage in more "radical" innovations to replace incumbents. Our model provides a tractable framework for the analysis of growth driven by both entry...

Long-Term Barriers to the International Diffusion of Innovations
Spolaore, Enrico - 2012
We document an empirical relationship between the cross-country adoption of technologies and the degree of long-term historical relatedness between human populations. Historical relatedness is measured using genetic distance, a measure of the time since two populations' last common ancestors. We...
