Labor productivity and the law of decreasing labor content
Flaschel, Peter; Franke, Reiner; Veneziani, Roberto - 2010
This paper analyzes labor productivity and the law of decreasing labor content (LDLC) originally formulated by Farjoun and Machover (1983). First, it is shown that the standard measures of labor productivity may be rather misleading, owing to their emphasis on monetary aggregates. Instead, the...

Non-homothetic preferences and industry directed technical change
Boppart, Timo; Weiss, Franziska - 2013
Sectoral data features (i) changing relative expenditures of different sectors, (ii) non-constancy in relative prices and (iii) long-run trends in relative TFP growth rates across sectors. We provide a tractable theory of industry directed technical change, which is able to reconcile these...

The rectangular sector-by-technology model: not every economy produces every product and some products may rely on several technologies simultaneously
Duchin, Faye; Levine, Stephen H. - In: Journal of economic structures : JES; the official … 1 (2012), pp. 1-11
This paper identifies a fundamental challenge in the development of input-output databases of the world economy intended for analysis of alternative scenarios with a model of the world economy. Primary data sources for individual economies generally do not use the same sectoral classification...

Energy Efficiency in General Equilibrium with Input-Output Linkages
Blackburn, Christopher J. - 2020
Industrial activity periodically experiences breakthrough innovations in energy efficiency, but the estimated impacts of these innovations on aggregate energy use are highly varied. We develop a general equilibrium model to investigate whether this variation is determined by the structure of the...

Skill Bias Magnified : Intersectoral Linkages and White-Collar Labor Demand in U.S. Manufacturing
Voigtländer, Nico - 2013
This paper presents a novel stylized fact and analyzes its contribution to the skill bias of technical change in U.S. manufacturing. The share of skilled labor embedded in intermediate inputs correlates strongly with the skill share employed in final production. This finding points towards an...
