Technology invention and diffusion in residential energy consumption : a stochastic frontier approach
Marin, Giovanni; Palma, Alessandro - 2015
Traditional large appliances absorb a large share of residential electricity consumption and represent important targets of energy policy strategies aimed at achieving energy security. Despite being characterized by rather mature technologies, this group of appliances still offers large...

Comovement and catch-up in productivity across sectors : evidence from the OECD
Cornwell, Christopher Mark; Wächter, Jens-Uwe - 1999
A method for analyzing productivity convergence based on frontier production functions is proposed. It is examined … whether departures from the frontier - country-level inefficiencies - exhibit long-run relationships and convergence. The … studies have found not to display convergence, shows signs of catch-up. …

Immigration and the Diffusion of Technology: The Huguenot Diaspora in Prussia
Hornung, Erik - 2011
This paper analyzes long-term effects of skilled-worker immigration on productivityfor the Huguenots migration to Prussia. We combine Huguenot immigration lists from1700 with Prussian firm-level data on the value of inputs and outputs in 1802 in aunique data base. In 1685, religious persecution...

Factor-augmenting technical change : an empirical assessment
De Cian, Enrica; Carraro, Carlo - 2009
Starting from a system of factor demands, an empirical model that allows estimating factor-augmenting technical change is derived. Factor-augmenting technical change is defined as the improvement in factor productivities that can occur either exogenously or endogenously, with changes in other...

Factor-Augmenting Technical Change : An Empirical Assessment
Carraro, Carlo - 2012
This paper estimates factor-specific technical change and input substitution using a structural approach. It improves upon the existing literature by introducing technology drivers for factor productivities and by assessing the impact of endogenous technical change on the estimates of...

Carbon Emissions and Economic Growth : Production-Based versus Consumption-Based Evidence on Decoupling
Mir, Goher-Ur-Rehman; Storm, Servaas - 2016
We assess the Carbon-Kuznets-Curve hypothesis using internationally consistent and comparable production-based versus consumption-based CO2 emissions data for 40 countries (and 35 industries) during 1995-2007 from the World Input Output Database (WIOD). The estimates for per capita CO2 emissions...

The bias of technological change in Europe
Vogel, Johanna; Kratena, Kurt; Hranyai, Kathrin - 2015
This paper is concerned with measuring and influencing the direction of technological change. First, it provides a comprehensive assessment of the factor bias of technological change using panel data from the World Input-Output Database (WIOD) for 25 EU countries from 1995 to 2009. We measure...
