Methods of privatization and economic growth in transition economies

Bennett, John; Estrin, Saul; Urga, Giovanni - 2006

Dynamic panel data methods are used to estimate a growth model using data from 23 transition countries for the period 1990 to 2003. The estimating equation is augmented with country- and time-specific variables for methods of privatization and other factors potentially relevant to growth in...

On the nature of suppes-sen choice functions in an aggregative growth model

Dubey, Ram Sewak; Mitra, Tapan - 2010

This paper investigates the nature of paths in the standard neoclassical aggregative model of economic growth that are maximal according to the Suppes-Sen grading principle. This is accomplished by relating such paths to paths which are utilitarian maximal when an increasing (but not necessarily...

Some foundations for multiplicative habits models

Hiraguchi, Ryoji - 2004

While consumption models with multiplicative habits are becoming increasingly popular, some important theoretical questions about these models have not yet been addressed. This paper fills three such gaps: Existence of an optimal consumption path; satisfaction, by that path, of the consumption...

Growth effects of consumption jealousy in a two-sector model

Duernecker, Georg - 2007

This paper aims at analyzing the implications of individuals' consumption jealousy on the dynamic structure of a two-sector model economy. We find that status-seeking substantially influences both, the long-term properties and the adjustment behavior of the model. Depending on the status motive,...

Competition, imitation, and R&D productivity in agrowth model with sector-specific patent protection

Mosel, Malte - 2009

Recent empirical studies suggest a need for a flexible patent regime responding to industry characteristics. In practice, sector-specific modifications of patent strength already exist but lack theoretical foundation. This paper intends to make up for this neglect by scrutinizing in what...

Braucht Europa eine neue Industriepolitik?

Bletschacher, Georg; Klodt, Henning - 1991

Wachstumstheorie verwiesen, die vielfältige Möglichkeiten für wohlfahrtsfördernde staatliche Interventionen aufgezeigt hätten. Im … Wachstumstheorie läßt sich beispielsweise erklären, weshalb ein Land wie Japan fortgeschrittene Industrieländer nicht nur einholen …, sondern sogar überholen kann - ein Phänomen, das mit der herkömmlichen Wachstumstheorie nur schwer in Einklang zu bringen war …

Long-term unemployment, technical progress and capital mobility in an open growth-matching model

Birk, Angela - 2002

How does technical progress affect long-term unemployment in a small open economy? This relationship is evaluated in an open neoclassical growth model that is extended by a Pissarides-style labor market matching approach. In the general equilibrium model, the labor market of the three factor...

Divergence – Is it geography?

Straubhaar, Thomas; Suhrcke, Marc; Urban, Dieter M. - 2002

This paper tests a geography and growth model using regional data for Europe, the US, and Japan. We set up a standard geography and growth model with a poverty trap and derive a log-linearized growth equation that corresponds directly to a threshold regression technique in econometrics. In...

Long-term unemployment and subsidizing vacancies in a growth-matching model

Birk, Angela - 2001

How can long-term unemployment be reduced by policy measures of the government? In this paper a growth-matching-model is developed, in which the unemployment pool consists of heterogeneous unemployed workers, short-term and long-term unemployed, and with an endogenous skill-depreciation of the...

Qualification-mismatch and long-term unemployment in a growth-matching model

Birk, Angela - 2001

How does technical progress affect long-term unemployment? The relationship between long-term unemployment and the rate of growth attributable to technical progress is evaluated in a growth-matching-model with heterogeneous jobless workers and with endogenously determined long-term unemployed...
