On the mechanism of international technology diffusion for energy productivity growth
Jin, Wei; Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2014
International diffusion of advanced environment and energy-related technologies has received much attention in recent environmental economics studies. As a much needed complement to the "black box" complex numerical modelling, this paper contributes to developing a simple, intuitive analytical...

Horizontal and vertical polarization : task-specific technological change in a multi-sector economy
Lee, Sang Yoon; Shin, Yongseok - 2019
We construct a multi-layer model of skills, occupations, and sectors. Technological progress among middle-skill occupations raises the employment shares and relative wages of lower- and higher-skill occupations (horizontal polarization), and those of managers over workers (vertical...

Technology, Information and the Decentralization of the Firm
Acemoglu, Daron; Aghion, Philippe; Lelarge, Claire; Van … - Institut für Schweizerisches Bankwesen <Zürich> - 2007
This paper analyzes the relationship between the diffusion of new technologies and the decentralization of firms. Centralized control relies on the information of the principal, which we equate with publicly available information. Decentralized control, on the other hand, delegates authority to...

Corporate governance practices and companies' R&D orientation : evidence from European countries
Honoré, Florence; Munari, Federico; Van Pottelsberghe … - 2011
This paper empirically investigates if corporate governance practices affect the resources firms devote to R&D. Two databases - one on governance ratings and the other on R&D intensity - are merged to obtain a multi-country, multi-sector sample of 279 European companies involved in R&D...

Innovation and institutional ownership
Aghion, Philippe; Van Reenen, John; Zingales, Luigi - 2010
We find that institutional ownership in publicly traded companies is associated with more innovation (measured by cite-weighted patents). To explore the mechanism through which this link arises, we build a model that nests the lazy-manager hypothesis with career-concerns, where institutional...

The environment and directed technical change
Acemoglu, Daron; Aghion, Philippe; Bursztyn, Leonardo; … - 2010
This paper introduces endogenous and directed technical change in a growth model with environmental constraints. A unique final good is produced by combining inputs from two sectors. One of these sectors uses "dirty" machines and thus creates environmental degradation. Research can be directed...
