Firm Dynamics and Productivity Growth : A Review of Micro Evidence from OECD Countries
Ahn, Sanghoon - 2001
This paper surveys recent empirical studies exploring aggregate productivity growth based on firm dynamics, focusing on … micro-data from OECD countries. Aggregate productivity growth can be analysed as a sum of two separate processes. i) Changes … in productivity in individual firms at a given size (relative to market). And, ii) a reallocation process due to …

Chapter 1. What Do We Learn From Schumpeterian Growth Theory?
Aghion, Philippe; Akcigit, Ufuk; Howitt, Peter - 2014
Schumpeterian growth theory has operationalized Schumpeter’s notion of creative destruction by developing models based on this concept. These models shed light on several aspects of the growth process that could not be properly addressed by alternative theories. In this survey, we focus on...

Mortgaging the Meme : Lessons for Financing Disruptive Innovation
Garon, Jon - 2014
Disruptive innovation can be described as the introduction of a new conceptual idea or meme into an existing system that causes the system to be fundamentally altered. Assembly lines, air conditioning, digital film, and personal computers represent such innovations, all of which led to...

Invisible Engines : How Software Platforms Drive Innovation and Transform Industries
Evans, David S. - 2016
“Software platforms are the invisible engines that have created, touched, or transformed nearly every major industry for the past quarter century. They power everything from mobile phones and automobile navigation systems to search engines and web portals. They have been the source of enormous...

Information independence and common knowledge
Gossner, Olivier; Kalai, Ehud; Weber, Robert James - 2009
In Bayesian environments with private information, as described by the types of Harsanyi, how can types of agents be (statistically) disassociated from each other and how are such disassociations reflected in the agents’ knowledge structure? Conditions studied are (i) subjective independence...

Beliefs, payoffs, information : on the robustness of the BDP property in models with endogenous beliefs
Gizatulina, Alia; Hellwig, Martin - 2012 - First version: December 1, 2008, This version: March 23, 2012
Neeman (2004) and Heifetz and Neeman (2006) have shown that, in auctions with incomplete information about payoffs, full surplus extraction is only possible if agents’ beliefs about other agents are fully informative about their own payoff parameters. They argue that the set of...

Learning Efficiency of Multi-Agent Information Structures
Frick, Mira; Iijima, Ryota; Ishii, Yuhta - 2021
We study settings in which, prior to playing an incomplete information game, players observe many draws of private signals about the state from some information structure. Signals are i.i.d. across draws, but may display arbitrary correlation across players. For each information structure, we...

Information Structures with Unawareness
Li, Jing - 2008
I construct a state space model with unawareness following Aumann (1976). Dekel, Lipman and Rustichini (1998a) show that standard state space models are incapable of representing unawareness. The model circumvents the impossibility result by endowing the agent with a subjective state space that...
