In this paper, we have presented a generalization of Bucci's (2003) model in which have disentangled the monopolistic mark-up in the intermediate goods sector, the intermediate goods share in the final output and the returns to specialization in order to have a better measurement of competition....

Une manière de vérifier la pertinence de la théorie de la croissance endogène est de tester en économie fermée l’existence d’une relation entre l’innovation et la productivité globale des facteurs. Plus récemment, cette approche a été élargie afin de tenir compte des...

This paper shows that the results of Bucci (2005) depend critically on the assumption that there are no difference between the intermediate goods share in final output, the returns of specialization and the degree of market power of monopolistic competitors. In this paper, we disentangle the...

This paper shows that the results of Bianco (2006) depend critically on the assumption that there are no difference between the intermediate goods share in final output, the returns of specialization and the degree of market power of monopolistic competitors. In this paper, we disentangle the...

A way to test the relevance of endogenous growth theory is to test this existence of the relationship between innovation and total factor productivity at the country level. More recently this approach has been extended to take account of externalities induced by innovation activities from...
