We propose a Unified Growth model that analyzes the role of the Scienti fic Revolution in the takeoff to sustained modern economic growth. Basic scientific knowledge is a necessary input in the production of applied knowledge, which, in turn, fuels productivity growth and leads to rising...

The determinants of the direction of technical change and the implications for economic growth are studied in the one-sector neoclassical growth model of Ramsey (1928), Cass (1965), and Koopmans (1965) extended to allow for endogenous capital- and labor-augmenting technical change. For this...

The Real Business Cycle (RBC) models a neoclassical system impacted by random changes on Total Factor Productivity (TFP) caused by exogenous "technology shocks." Its success in calibration tests confirms TFP's crucial role in the cycle yet, by assuming it exogenous, it requires its shocks being...
