Population Growth and Natural Resource Scarcity: Long run development under seemingly unfavourable conditions
Bretschger, Lucas - Oxford Centre for the Analysis of Resource-Rich … - 2010
The paper considers an economy which is constrained by natural resource use and driven by knowledge accumulation. Resources are essential inputs in all the sectors. It is shown that population growth and poor input substitution are not detrimental but, on the contrary, even necessary for...

Population growth and natural resource scarcity: long-run development under seemingly unfavourable conditions
Bretschger, Lucas - 2009
The paper develops a model with non-exponential population growth, nonrenewable natural resources, and endogenous knowledge creation to analyse substitution between primary inputs and an essential use of resources in the innovation sectors, which is generally considered as most unfavourable for...

Sectoral Hetorgeneity, Resoure Depletion, and Directed Technical Change: theory and policy
Pittel, Karen; Bretschger, Lucas - Oxford Centre for the Analysis of Resource-Rich … - 2010
We analyze an economy in which sectors are heterogeneous with respect to the intensity of natural resource use. Long-term dynamics are driven by resource prices, sectoral composition, and directed technical change. We study the balanced growth path and determine stability conditions. Technical...

The implications of heterogeneous resource intensities on technical change and growth
Pittel, Karen; Bretschger, Lucas - In: Canadian Journal of Economics 43 (2010) 4, pp. 1173-1197
We analyze the long-term dynamics of an economy in which sectors are heterogeneous with respect to the intensity of natural resource use. It is shown that heterogeneity induces technical change to be biased towards resource-intensive sectors. Along the balanced growth path, the sectoral...
