This paper constructs a two-country (Home and Foreign) general equilibrium model of Schumpeterian growth without scale … which generates semi-endogenous growth. In this model of semi-endogenous growth, an increase in the rate of population … growth rate raises Home’s relative wage and lowers its range of goods exported to Foreign. An increase in the size of …

growth has been driven by R&D and tests which second-generation endogenous growth model is most consistent with the data. The … results give strong support to Schumpeterian growth theory but only limited support to semi-endogenous growth theory …. Furthermore, it is shown that R&D has played a key role for growth in the Asian miracle economies. …

The neoclassical growth model was extended by Mankiw, Romer and Weil (1992) to estimate the level effects of additional … factors like human capital. We suggest a further extension to capture their permanent growth effects. Time series data from … Fiji are used to show that the growth effect of human capital, although small, is significant. Furthermore, in our sample …

Furthermore, the paper tests the ability of two competing second-generation endogenous growth models to … account for the British growth experience. The results suggest that innovative activity was an important force in shaping the …

A few broad policies to improve these steady state growth rate are suggested. …

&D-based growth model. The government not only subsidizes the R&D cost of the firms but also engages in R&D activities and, in … the expenditure. We find that in the economy there exist two balanced equilibrium growth paths. In an economy with a high … growth path, the government’s subsidy policy and its R&D activities will crowd out the private R&D activities, and hence the …
