Technology, Trade, and Growth : The Role of Education
Prettner, Klaus - 2014
We generalize a trade model with firm-specific heterogeneity and R&D-based growth to allow for an endogenous education decision of households and an endogenously evolving population. Our framework is able to explain cross-country differences in living standards and trade intensities by the...

R&D-based growth in the post-modern era
Strulik, Holger; Prettnerz, Klaus; … - 2010
Conventional R&D-based growth theory suggests that productivity growth is positively correlated with population size or population growth, an implication which is hard to see in the data. Here we integrate microfounded fertility and schooling into an otherwise standard R&D-based growth model. We...
