Wages and productivity in Argentinian manufacturing : a structuralist and distributional firm-level analysis
Gómez, María Celeste; Virgillito, Maria Enrica - 2022
Wages and productivity represent two of the most relevant variables to consider in economic development. Given the low productivity levels that emerging countries reveal, the accumulation of productive capabilities and a narrower dispersion across sectors would enable emerging countries to...

The footprint of evolutionary processes of learning and selection upon the statistical properties of industrial dynamics
Dosi, Giovanni; Pereira, Marcelo C.; Virgillito, Maria … - 2015
Evolutionary theories of economic change identify the processes of idiosyncratic learning by individual firms and of market selection as the two main drivers of the dynamics of industries. Are such processes able to robustly account for the statistical regularities which industrial structures...

Technological paradigms, labour creation and destruction in a multi-sector agent-based model
Dosi, Giovanni; Pereira, Marcelo C.; Roventini, Andrea; … - 2021
This paper presents an agent-based model (ABM) of endogenous arrival of technological paradigms and new sectors entailing different patterns of labour creation and destruction, as well as of consumption dynamics. The model, building on the labour-augmented K+S ABM, addresses the long-term...
