Accounting for Uncertainty Affecting Technical Change in an Economic-Climate Model
Bosetti, Valentina; Drouet, Laurent - 2006
The key role of technological change in the decline of energy and carbon intensities of aggregate economic activities is widely recognized. This has focused attention on the issue of developing endogenous models for the evolution of technological change. With a few exceptions this is done using...

Top incomes, rising inequality, and welfare
Lansing, Kevin J.; Markiewicz, Agnieszka - 2012
This paper develops a general-equilibrium model of skill-biased technological change that approximates the observed shifts in the shares of wage and non-wage income going to the top decile of U.S. households since 1980. Under realistic assumptions, we find that all agents can benefit from the...
