This paper studies the economic determinants of the inter-sectoral allocation of skills within an R&Dbased growth model with human capital accumulation. I find that steady-state growth is driven only by incentives to accumulate skills and is independent of scale effects. In the model imperfect...

This paper studies the economic determinants of the inter-sectoral allocation of skills within an R&Dbased growth model with human capital accumulation and imperfect competition. Using an aggregateR&D technology displaying constant returns to scale in human capital, I find that steady-state...

This paper studies the long-run consequences of imperfect competition on growth and the sectoral distribution of skills within an R&D-based growth model with human capital accumulation. We find that steady-state growth is driven only by incentives to accumulate skills. In the model imperfect...
