The role of innovation in industrial dynamics and productivity growth : a survey of the literature
Ugur, Mehment; Vivarelli, Marco - 2020
We review the theoretical underpinnings and the empirical findings of the literature that investigates the effects of innovation on firm survival and firm productivity, which constitute the two main channels through which innovation drives growth. We aim to contribute to the ongoing debate along...

Endogenous growth, asymmetric trade and resource taxation
Bretschger, Lucas; Valente, Simone - 2010
Since 1980, the aggregate income of oil-exporting countries relative to that of oil- poor countries has been remarkably constant despite structural gaps in productivity growth rates. This stylized fact is analyzed in a two-country model where resource- poor (Home) and resource-rich (Foreign)...

Escaping Damocles' sword : endogenous climate shocks in a growing economy
Bretschger, Lucas; Vinogradova, Alexandra - 2018
Climate economics has been criticized for ignoring uncertainty, catastrophic changes, and tipping points (Stern 2016). The present paper addresses these issues. We consider multiple climate shocks which are recurring, random, uninsurable, and potentially large. The associated damages and the...

Growth and mitigation policies with uncertain climate damage
Bretschger, Lucas; Vinogradova, Alexandra - 2014
Climate physics predicts that the intensity of natural disasters will increase in the future due to climate change. We present a stochastic model of a growing economy where natural disasters are multiple and random, with damages driven by the economy's polluting activity. We provide a...

Use less, pay more : can climate policy address the unfortunate event for being poor?
Bretschger, Lucas; Suphaphiphat, Nujin - 2012
The paper develops a two-region endogenous growth model with climate change affecting the countries' capital stocks negatively. We compare two different policies aimed at supporting less developed countries: climate mitigation by rich countries, which diminishes the increase in stock pollution...

Taxes, mobile vapital, and rconomic fynamics in a globalising world
Bretschger, Lucas - 2008
This contribution provides evidence for the hypothesis that trade increases growth through its curbing effect on capital taxes. The analysed trade-growth channel includes a negative impact of openness on corporate taxes and a negative effect of taxes on growth. The paper explores the two steps...

Growth in a globalised economy : the effects of capital taxes and tax competition
Bretschger, Lucas - 2003
This contribution provides evidence for the hypothesis that trade increases growth through its curbing effect on capital taxes. The analysed mechanism includes two different steps and considers the critical points of both the theoretical and empirical studies in this field. In particular, the...
