The creative intelligence lies in the framework of the "intelligent" way which must be used to assure creativity and, thus, innovation. As its name suggests, the creative intelligence excludes imitation. Therefore, firstly, it requires an important R&D investment that manifests itself in the...

This paper analyzes how population and product market competition (PMC) interact with each other in affecting productivity growth. We find that only a fully endogenous growth model with purposeful investment in human capital, an input in the production of intermediate goods, can simultaneously...

We construct an endogenous growth model of directed technical change with automation (the introduction of machines which replace low-skill labor and complement high-skill labor) and horizontal innovation (the introduction of new products, which increases demand for both types of labor). Such an...

This paper examines the behavioural finance aspects of developed countries which invest significantly in R&D, while trying to benefit from this investment, within the framework of the so called ‘creative intelligence’. At this level, creative intellige

The literature on 'horizontal innovation' claims to analyse the cases where unbounded endogenous growth comes from an increasing variety of intermediate goods. The present paper contends that a good sample of representative models in this literature share two essential assumptions regarding...

Patenting and licensing are introduced into the lab-equipment horizontal innovation model of endogenous growth. Patent length is not deterministic, in that patent holders' market power will collapse if and only if their patented goods get successfully imitated. The model is solved in an exact...

An established result of the endogenous growth literature is that competitive equilibria in expanding-varieties models are suboptimal due to the rent-effect: monopolistic pricing drives the equilibrium quantity of each intermediate below the efficient level, implying that it is optimal to...

We analyze the relative growth performance of open economies in a two-country model where different endowments of labor and a natural resource generate asymmetric trade. A resource-rich economy trades resource-based intermediates for final manufacturing goods produced by a resource-poor economy....

While most countries have harmonized intellectual property rights (IPR) legislation, the dispute about the optimal level of IPR-enforcement remains. This paper develops an endogenous growth framework with two open economies satisfying the classical North-South assumptions to study (a)...
