We analyze the steady state and transitional dynamics of two-sector model with structural change and horizontal innovation. There are three main economic forces could drive structural change: technological progress in one sector, technological progress in the other sector, and capital deepening....

This paper contributes to the endogenous versus semi-endogenous growth debate by establishing that semi-endogenous growth is more general than endogenous growth in a two-R&D-sector growth model. It is demonstrated that endogenous growth requires two "knife-edge" conditions of parameters. This...

This paper considers transitional dynamics of a two-sector endogenous growth model in the Uzawa-Lucas framework. We find that when the ratio of physical to human capital is sufficiently high, it is optimal for both consumption and physical capital to fall for a finite period and then gradually...

This paper investigates the growth impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in an economy consisting of three sectors: ICT-producing, ICT-using, and non-ICT-using. The ICT progress causes falling prices of the consumption and intermediates produced by the ICT-using sector,...

Under the condition that education sector uses human capital as the only input of production, human capital could flow out from final goods sector to education sector eternally, which is defined to be perpetual structural change in the present paper. The emergence of perpetual structural change...

Global knowledge spillovers allow backward countries to catch up by accumulating knowledge faster than leading countries. International growth differentials will fall as diminishing returns with respect to the national knowledge stock apply. The domestic growth rat e will finally equal the...

We study long-run trends in market hours of work and employment shifts across economic sectors driven by uneven TFP growth in market and home production. We focus on the substitutions between market and home production and on the structural transformation between agriculture, manufacturing and...

This paper examines the role of home production in estimating life-cycle labor supply. I show that, consistent with previous studies, ignoring an individual's time spent on home production when estimating the Frisch elasticity of labor supply biases its estimate downwards. I also show, however,...
