unemployment, considering the former as a key driver of long-term productivity and economic growth. Using panel data from 25 … European countries for the period of 2000–2012, we aim to examine whether technological innovations affect unemployment. We … unemployment controls, in our model, which were estimated using System Generalized Method of Moments (SGMM). Finding no significant …

We analyze social learning and innovation in an overlapping generations model in which available technologies have correlated payoffs. Each generation experiments within a set of policies whose payoffs are initially unknown and drawn from the path of a Brownian motion with drift. Marginal...
