We formulate and estimate a general equilibrium model of innovation-led growth and use it to evaluate the quantitative implications of individual income tax reforms for innovation and aggregate productivity growth. In the model, innovation comes from entrants creating new products and incumbents...

We develop a framework for the analysis of the economic effects of an epidemic that incorporates firm-specific innovation and endogenous entry. Transition dynamics is characterized by two differential equations describing the evolution of the mass of susceptible in the population and the ratio...

We derive the quantitative implications of reducing sustained budget deficits (labeled fiscal stabilizations) in the context of a general equilibrium model of innovation-led growth. In the model, innovation comes from entrant firms creating new products and incumbent firms improving own existing...

In this paper we propose an endogenous growth model of commodity-rich economies in which: (i) long-run (steady-state) growth is endogenous and yet independent of commodity prices; (ii) commodity prices affect short-run growth through transitional dynamics; and (iii) the status of net commodity...

Market sentiment drives fluctuations in financial markets, but it is measured with empirical proxies lacking strong theoretical foundations. In a generalization of the Consumption CAPM where the representative agent has a prospect theory probability weighting function, we derive a formula for...

Recent studies have documented several trends in the U.S. market structure since the 1980s, such as the rise of large firms' markups and their profit margins. An important but not emphasized trend is the rise of the fixed operating costs of large firms. This trend is so salient that the...
