We do two things in this paper. First, we put forward some elements of a microeconomic theory of technological evolution. This involves adding nascent (essentially undiscovered) technologies to the existing technologies of neoclassical production theory, and, more importantly, expanding the...

In many industries, competition is far from perfect and managerial efficiency (or a fixed cost) varies among firms. However, traditional measurement of technological progress assumes perfect competition and no fixed cost. This paper incorporates these two factors in the technological-progress...

Economists often model the delicate relationship between production, innovation, and economic growth as a production function that exhibits increasing returns to scale (IRS). The existence of "knowledge spillovers" or "learning by doing" often implies conclusions about the optimal use of...

Labor productivity (LP) in the United States has gone from being procyclical to acyclical since the mid-1980s. Using … industry-level data, this paper first shows that total factor productivity (TFP), which is LP net of capital deepening, has … reasons for the change in the cyclicality of productivity. By decomposing TFP into technical change and input utilization, it …
