Technology adoption and herding behavior in complex social networks
Švarcová, Natalie; Švarc, Petr - 2008
Using a simple computational model, we study consequences of herding behavior in population of agents connected in networks with different topologies: random networks, small-world networks and scale-free networks. Agents sequentially choose between two technologies using very simple rules based...

Energy Biased Technical Change: A CGE Analysis
Löschel, Andreas; Otto, Vincent M.; Dellink, Rob B. - 2005
This paper studies energy bias in technical change. For this purpose, we develop a computable general equilibrium model that builds on endogenous growth models. The model explicitly captures links between energy, the rate and direction of technical change, and the economy. We derive the...

Endogenizing Total Factor Productivity: The Foreign Direct Investment channel in the case of Bulgaria (2004-2013)
Pesheva, Milena; Vasilev, Aleksandar - In: South-Eastern Europe Journal of Economics 15 (2017) 2, pp. 127-145
This paper estimates the contribution of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) of Bulgaria for the period 2004-2013. As predicted by theory, a positive relationship between TFP and FDI is documented. The standard Ramsey (optimal) growth model, augmented with the...

Directed Technical Change and Climate Policy
Otto, Vincent M.; Löschel, Andreas; Reilly, John - 2006
This paper studies the cost effectiveness of climate policy if there are technology externalities. For this purpose, we develop a forward-looking CGE model that captures empirical links between CO2 emissions associated with energy use, directed technical change and the economy. We find the...

Learning from the experiments of others simultaneous search, coordination in R&D and diffusion processes: Laboratory evidence
Große, Niels Daniel; Kirchkamp, Oliver - 2009
In this paper we are studying a multiple player two-armed bandit model with two risky arms in discrete time. Players have to find the superior arm and can learn from others' history of choices and successes. In equilibrium, there is no con?ict between individual and social rationality. If agents...

Twin-peaks: What the knowledge-based approach can say about the dynamics of the world income distribution
Pyka, Andreas; Krüger, Jens J.; Cantner, Uwe - 1999
One of the most recently observed stylised facts in the field of economic growth is the persistent bimodal shape of the world income distribution.. Of course, some theoretical explanations for this new stylised fact already have been provided by neoclassical growth theory within a maximising...
