Endogenous growth and cycles with a continuum of technologies
Horii, Ryo - 2001
When a continuum of technologies is introduced to the model of Grossman and Helpman (1991), both continuous and discrete technological progress may occur as a result of technology choices by private firms. A good is created through R&D based on one of a continuum of technologies that differ in...

The profitable supression of inventions: Technology choice and entry deterrence
Creane, Anthony; Miyagiwa, Kaz - 2007
AT&T was known for both funding a world-class research lab and delaying deployment of useful innovations from the lab. To explain this behavior we consider a model with an incumbent facing a potential entrant. The incumbent can choose from two technologies for production: old and new. The...

Technology choice and international trade
Schmidt, Gabriela - 2010
This paper develops two extensions of the dynamic model presented in Melitz (2003). The first extension consists in the introduction of technology choice between three alternative production technologies: L, M and H. L is assumed to be the same as Melitz's single production technology, while M...

Climate policy as expectation management?
Narita, Daiju - 2010
It is believed that the primary economic solution to climate change is an introduction of a carbon pricing system anchored to the social cost of carbon, either as a form of tax or tradable permits. Potentially significant externalities accompanying the introduction of emission-reducing...

Climate policy as expectation management?
Narita, Daiju - 2011
It is often emphasized that the primary economic solution to climate change is the introduction of a carbon pricing system (tax or tradable permits) anchored to the social cost of carbon. This standard argument, however, misses the fact that if emission reduction is sought through the use of...

An O(Tˆ3) algorithm for the capacitated lot sizing problem with minimum order quantities
Okhrin, Irena; Richter, Knut - 2010
This paper explores a single-item capacitated lot sizing problem with minimum order quantity, which plays the role of minor set-up cost. We work out the necessary and suffcient solvability conditions and apply the general dynamic programming technique to develop an O(T³) exact algorithm that is...

Flexibility and Competition in Food Manufacturing Industries
Weiss, Christoph R. - 1999
This paper analyses the flexibility decision of firms. In particular we (a) ask whether the flexibility choice is influenced by market structure (concentration, market growth, ...), (b) compare the firms' actual choices with welfare maximising flexibility decisions (c) investigate the...

Productivity, investment in ICT and market experimentation: micro evidence from Germany und the US
Haltiwanger, John; Jarmin, Ron; Schank, Thorsten - 2003
Kenngrößen wie der Produktivität, der Qualifikationsstruktur und den Löhnen, wobei Mikrodaten für die USA und Deutschland … verwendet wurden. Dabei kann die Hypothese unterstützt werden, dass in den USA Betriebe stärker experimentieren - gemessen … durchschnittlichen Einfluss der Einführung neuer Technologien auf die Produktivität und die Löhne in den USA als in Deutschland. …

Employment Protection, Technology Choice, and Worker Allocation
Bartelsman, Eric J.; Gautier, Pieter A.; de Wind, Joris - 2010
Using a country-industry panel dataset (EUKLEMS) we uncover a robust empirical regularity, namely that high-risk innovative sectors are relatively smaller in countries with strict employment protection legislation (EPL). To understand the mechanism, we develop a two-sector matching model where...
