We present a class of dynamic general-equilibrium models of education, innovation and technology transfer to explain …. Innovation and human-capital accumulation appear as in-line engines of scale-invariant endogenous growth. Industries evolve … according to stochastic processes of innovation, imitation and technology adaption in the global economy. …

We study a dynamic general equilibrium model where innovation takes the form of the introduction new goods, whose … production requires skilled workers. Innovation is followed by a costly process of standardization, whereby these new goods are … substitution between goods and other parameters.
