This paper accounts for China's economic growth since 1980 in a unified endogenous growth model in which a sequencing of physical capital accumulation, human capital accumulation and innovation drives the rise in China's aggregate income. The first stage is characterized by physical capital...

Since the financial crisis in 2008, slow growth has riddled Europe and the Covid-19 pandemic is amplifying the challenge. Promoting economic growth and transforming to a more knowledge-based industrial structure will be high on the agenda for the coming decades. We study how more and better...

This paper extends earlier analysis of the transitional dynamics of a growth model in which both human capital and innovation drive income expansion. Funke and Strulik [2000]. On endogenous growth with physical capital, human capital and product variety. European Economic Review 44 [491-515]...

This paper combines three prototype endogenous growth models, the models with human capital accumulation introduced by Uzawa [1965] and Lucas [1988], variety expansion by Romer [1990], and quality improvements by Aghion and Howitt [1992], in order to investigate how these three engines of growth...

This paper investigates the effect of human capital accumulation on the direction of technical Change in a framework with natural resources and environmental externalities. The model simulates that an increasing knowledge stock of worker tends to direct technical change in favour of intangible...

The present paper argues that, in line with Nelson-Phelps (1966), there exist important complementarities among educational attainment, Ramp;D activities (and their derived innovations) and economic growth, although subject to a quot;skill-loss effectquot; (delta;-effect), due to the presence of...

This paper studies a model of the distribution of income under bounded needs. Utility derived from any given good reaches a bliss point at a finite consumption level of that good. On the other hand, introducing new varieties always increases utility. It is assumed that each variety is owned by a...

We provide a unified framework for quantifying the cross-country and cross-sector interactions among trade, innovation, and knowledge diffusion. We study the effect of trade liberalization in an endogenous growth model in which comparative advantage and the stock of knowledge are determined by...

We provide a unified framework for quantifying the cross country and cross-sector interactions among trade, innovation, and knowledge diffusion. We study the effect of trade liberalization in a multi-country, multi-sector endogenous growth model in which comparative advantage and the stock of...
