Employment Effects of Skill Biased Technological Change When Benefits are Linked to Per-Capita Income

Weiss, Matthias - 2009

This paper studies the employment effects of technological change when benefits are endogenous. If the (i) level of welfare aid depends on the general income level in the economy and (ii) wages for unskilled workers cannot fall below the level of welfare aid, there is a link between the wage for...

Modeling technological change in economic models of climate change : a survey

Löschel, Andreas; Schymura, Michael - 2013

The assessment of climate change mitigation policies through economic modeling depends crucially on assumptions under which technological change has been incorporated in the model. Earlier climate-energy-economics modeling attempts heavily relied on the assumption of exogenous technological...

Skill-Biased Technological Change : Is There Hope for the Unskilled?

Weiss, Matthias - 2009

This paper presents a model in which perpetual skill-biased technological change does not lead to ever increasing wage inequality. The model is consistent with the increase in wage inequality in the 1980s and the subsequent stabilization in the 1990s

Identifying the Elasticity of Substitution with Biased Technical Change

Leon-Ledesma, Miguel A. - 2009

Despite being critical parameters in many economic fields, the received wisdom, in theoretical and empirical literatures, states that joint identification of the elasticity of capital-labor substitution and technical bias is infeasible. This paper challenges that pessimistic interpretation....

On Technical Change in the Elasticities of Resource Inputs

Growiec, Jakub - 2015

This article considers an economy whose production function takes both renewable and non-renewable resources as inputs. We extend the current literature by allowing for exogenous technical change in the elasticity of substitution between these two types of resources. In addition, we study the...

The Problem of Non-Renewable Energy Resources in the Production of Physical Capital

Perez Barahona, Agustin - 2014

This paper studies the possibilities of technical progress to deal with the growth limit problem imposed by the usage of non-renewable energy resources, when physical capital production is relatively more energy-intensive than consumption. In particular, this work presents the conditions under...

Non-Renewable Resources, Extraction Technology, and Endogenous Growth

Stuermer, Martin - 2020

suggested by standard economic theory? We develop a theory of extraction technology, geology and growth grounded in stylized … returns in innovation. As a result, the aggregate growth rate depends partly on the geological distribution of resources. For …

Directed Technical Change, Environmental Sustainability, and Population Growth

Kruse-Andersen, Peter - 2019

Population growth has two potentially counteracting effects on pollution emissions:(i) more people implies more production and thereby more emissions, and (ii) more people implies a larger research capacity which might reduce the emission intensity of production, depending on the direction of...
