Energy Biased Technical Change: A CGE Analysis

Löschel, Andreas; Otto, Vincent M.; Dellink, Rob B. - 2005

This paper studies energy bias in technical change. For this purpose, we develop a computable general equilibrium model that builds on endogenous growth models. The model explicitly captures links between energy, the rate and direction of technical change, and the economy. We derive the...

Skill Biased Technological Change and Endogenous Benefits: The Dynamics of Unemployment and Wage Inequality

Weiss, Matthias; Garloff, Alfred - 2005

In this paper, we study the effect of skill-biased technological change on unemployment when benefits are linked to the evolution of average income and when this is not the case. In the former case, an increase in the productivity of skilled workers and hence their wage leads to an increase in...

Innovations induce asymmetric employment movements

Zwick, Thomas - 1999

This paper provides a labour supply explanation to the observation that in Germany employment changes are asymmetric during the business cycle. Employment increases are slower, because the reservation wage of workers increases in times of job uncertainty. Workers are afraid in those periods of...
