We develop a growth model that features the endogenous two-tier innovations of information carrier technology and production technology. Information carrier technology promotes production technology innovation and thus economic growth through improving the preservation and dissemination of...

We build a novel endogenous growth model with information carrier technology, in which knowledge may be lost in storage and dissemination. In the asymptotic balanced growth path equilibrium, we establish two main findings. First, the growth rate of information carrier technology and the...

The bargaining process between the platform and users has great impact on the pricing scheme and the successful establishment of a platform. When users receive utilities after paying a initial cost to join the platform, they face the risk of platform's aggressive pricing and are discouraged from...

In this study, we estimate and investigate the evolution of monetary rules in China and the UnitedStates during the 21st century. Our aim is to examine whether financial stability has been takeninto consideration in practical monetary policy decision making. By proposing a new estimation method...

We propose a theory of rational "Rush", emphasizing the quantity of rational over-investment in contrast to the theory of irrational price "Bubble". We illustrate an important friction when financing breakthrough innovations: non-excludability and spillover of uncertain knowledge due to...

In this paper, we build a growth model using a new type of data for knowledge accumulation. This type of data can be viewed as a byproduct during the production process, therefore illustrating a new source of data supply, i.e., producer data. Labor will be employed for collecting and cleaning...

We model a dynamic data economy with fully endogenous growth where agents generate data from consumption and share them with innovation and production firms. Different from other productive factors such as labor or capital, data are nonrival not only among firms but also in their uses across...
