In this paper, we empirically examine how a supplier firm benefits from supply chain technology spillover in its product invention, and how customer concentration mitigates such a positive effect. Using a panel of approximately 1,670 U.S. technology-intensive supplier firms during the period...

Automation technologies displace human labor from various production processes, but they also reinstate labor by creating new tasks. These perpetual developments create changes in the task content performed by human labor. (Acemoglu and Restrepo 2019) provide a methodology to measure these...

In this paper we study the effect of different types of technological regime changes on the evolution of industry concentration and wage inequality. Using a calibrated agent-based macroeconomic framework, the Eurace@Unibi model, we consider scenarios where the new regime is characterized by more...

This paper explores the impact of technological change on industry concentration and the underlying firm dynamics. In the agent-based model EURACE@Unibi I implement a paradigm shift in the technological frontier – a shift from a slow to a fast growing regime. The analysis shows that the...

U.S. county data for the last 20 or 30 years show that manufacturing employment has been deconcentrating. In contrast, the service sector exhibits concentration in counties with intermediate levels of employment. This paper presents a theory where local sectoral growth is driven by technological...

The emerging technology known as concentrating solar power, or CSP, holds much promise for countries with plenty of sunshine and clear skies. For CSP to claim its share of the coming energy revolution, concerted action is required over the next ten years by scientists, industry, governments,...
