Peneder, Michael - 2004
Schumpeterian development is characterised by the simultaneous interplay of growth and qualitative transformations of the economic system. At the sectoral level, such qualitative transformations become manifest as variations in the sectoral composition of production. Following the implementation...

On the Design of Basic-Research Policy
Gersbach, Hans; Schneider, Maik T.; Schneller, Olivier - 2008
We augment a Schumpeterian growth model with a public basic-research sector to examine how much a country should invest in basic research. We find that the closer the country is to the world’s technological frontier the more the government should invest in basic research. Basic-research...

Imposing parsimony in cross-country growth regressions
Jarociński, Marek - 2010
The number of variables related to long-run economic growth is large compared with the number of countries. Bayesian model averaging is often used to impose parsimony in the cross-country growth regression. The underlying prior is that many of the considered variables need to be excluded from...

A rise by any other name?: sensitivity of growth regressions to data source
Hanousek, Jan; Hájková, Dana; Filer, Randall - 2007
Measured rates of growth in real per capita income differ drastically depending on the data source. This phenomenon occurs largely because data sets differ in whether and how they adjust for changes in relative prices across countries. Replication of several recent studies of growth determinants...

Financial development and sectoral output growth in 19th century Germany
Diekmann, Katharina; Westermann, Frank - 2010
In this paper we re-evaluate the hypothesis that the development of the financial sector was an essential factor behind economic growth in 19th century Germany. We apply a structural VAR framework to a new annual data set from 1870 to 1912 that was initially recorded by Walther Hoffmann (1965)....
