The usual models of endogenous growth treat knowledge codification as a byproduct of R&D and as costless. In contrast … costly knowledge codification in an overlapping generations framework of endogenous growth and show that the steady …-state growth rate of capital being higher than that of the knowledge stock is a sufficient condition for knowledge codification …

This paper offers the first systematic historical evidence on the role of a central actor in modern growth theory - the … engineers diverged in their growth trajectories over the next century. The results are supported by historical case studies from …

Whether natural resources stimulate growth or induce a poverty-trap crucially depends on … inequality and higher cost of political participation, a high-growth and a poverty-trap equilibrium co-exist even with abundant …

This paper studies the effects of distortionary taxes and public investment in an endogenous growth OLG model with … knowledge trans- mission. Fiscal policy affects growth in two respects: first, work time reacts to variations of prospective tax … generations, and are not necessarily growth-improving with respect to a pure private system.

In 1960 Theodore Schultz expounded a human capital theory of economic growth that includes three elements: 1) Countries … without much human capital cannot manage physical capital effectively, 2) Economic growth can only proceed if physical capital … and human capital rise together, and 3) Human capital is the factor most likely to limit growth. I specify Schultz …

The convergence features of an Endogenous Growth model with Physical capital, Human Capital and R&D have been studied …
