He managed to identify … growth theory that have appeared in the nineties. The "real carrier of economic development" matches to the "human capital …

Commodity tax structure under uncertainty in a perfectly competitive market
Goerke, Laszlo - 2011
In a partial equilibrium setting without price uncertainty, the balanced-budget substitution of an ad valorem tax on output for a specific (unit) tax can enhance welfare in imperfectly competitive markets and is without impact in a competitive world. This paper demonstrates that a substitution...

Knowledge Codification and Endogenous Growth
Schneider, Maik T. - 2007
The usual models of endogenous growth treat knowledge codification as a byproduct of R&D and as costless. In contrast to this, one can observe great efforts of private firms for the purposeful codification of knowledge. We incorporate costly knowledge codification in an overlapping generations...

Human Capital, Resource Constraints and Intergenerational Fairness
Valente, Simone - 2007
This paper studies an endogenous growth model with human capital, exhaustible resources, and overlapping generations. Under laissez-faire, higher study time reduces depletion rates by increasing the share of re- sources that present generations are willing to sell to successors. However, selfish...

Welfare Analysis in a Schumpeterian Growth Model with Capital
Hagedorn, Marcus; Kaul, Ashok; Reinthaler, Volker - 2001
In this note we compare the laissez-faire steady-state solution in the Howitt and Aghion (1998) model to the social optimum. The analysis offers several new insights in comparison to the welfare analysis in Aghion and Howitt (1992). We find various new distortions between private and optimal...

Lindbeck, Assar; Snower, Dennis J. - 1999
The paper analyzes the contemporary organizational restructuring of production and work within firms. We emphasize the shift from a "Tayloristic" organization of work (characterized by significant specialization by tasks) to a "holistic" organization (featuring job rotation, integration of tasks...

Market structure, technological gap and vertical linkage effects from foreign direct investment
Kadochnikov, Sergey M.; Drapkin, Igor M. - 2008
This paper is based on the model of backward linkages from foreign direct investment (FDI) Lin/Saggi (2003), where the market structure of the final goods sector is represented by a monopoly or Cournot oligopoly, and the supplier sector - by a pure monopoly. We extend this model by examining...
