The Role of Expectations in a Specialization-driven Growth Model with Endogenous Technology Choice

Kuwahara, Shiro; Shibata, Akihisa - Institute of Economic Research, Kyoto University - 2006

Extending the Kim (1989) model of endogenous labor specialization to an overlapping generations model with an endogenous technology choice, we show in this paper that, when the market size and the fixed costs associated with the technologies with labor specialization are small, the growth...

The Economic and Demographic Transition, Mortality, and Comparative Development

Cervellati, Matteo; Sunde, Uwe - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2013

We propose a unified growth theory to investigate the mechanics generating the economic and demographic transition, and the role of mortality differences for comparative development. The framework can replicate the quantitative patterns in historical time series data and in contemporaneous...

The Economic and Demographic Transition, Mortality, and Comparative Development

Cervellati, Matteo; Sunde, Uwe - School of Economics and Political Science, Universität … - 2008

We present a theory of the economic and demographic transition where adult longevity, child mortality, fertility and the education composition of the population are jointly determined. The model allows for an investigation of the determinants of underdevelopment traps as well as of the mechanism...

Start-up Costs and Pecuniary Externalities as Barriers to Economic Development

Ciccone, Antonio; Matsuyama, Kiminori - 1992

One critical aspect of economic development is that productivity growth and a rising standard of living are realized through more roundabout methods of production and increasing specialization of intermediate inputs and producer services. We use an extended version of the Judd-Grossman-Helpman...
