We study the effects of trade on economic growth in a Schumpeterian framework. The model excludes scale effects and technology transfer, the two usual channels in the literature through which trade affects growth, leaving only comparative advantage. Comparative advantage and the trading pattern...

We construct and test a theory of how international trade and endogenous economic growth interact to affect the evolution of cross-country differences in GDP. The theory combines a second-generation endogenous growth model with a Ricardian model of trade. The driver of growth is technical...

There is much confusion in the economics literature on wage determination and the employment–inflation trade-off. Few model builders pay as much careful attention to the definition and meaning of long-run concepts as did Albert Ando. Expanding on years of painstaking work by Ando, the...

In this note, we develop a monetary Schumpeterian growth model to explore the effects of monetary policy on endogenous market structure, economic growth and social welfare. We find that an increase in the nominal interest rate reduces the equilibrium number of firms. Although long-run economic...

I consider directed technical change in an economy where market structure is endogenous. Endogeneity of market structure leads to both theoretical and empirical implications that are substantially different from those in the existing literature and that in some cases are rather surprising. There...

This study explores the different implications of patent breadth and RD subsidies on economic growth and endogenous market structure in a Schumpeterian growth model. We fend that when the number of firms is fixed in the short run, patent breadth and R&D subsidies serve to increase economic...

The Knowledge-Intensive Business Services (KIBS) sector has been growing in the US in the recent decades. KIBS are used to overcome the information friction between intermediate inputs and the input users that is generated by technology improvement. We use a Schumpeterian growth model with...

This paper explores the macro effects of monetary policy in a Schumpeterian growth model with an endogenous market structure and distinct cash-in-advance (CIA) constraints on consumption, production, and two distinct types of R&D investment - in-house R&D and entry investment. We show that the...

In this paper we explore the effects of monetary policy on the number of firms, firm market size, ination and growth in a Schumpeterian growth model with endogenous market structure and cash-in-advance (CIA) constraints on two distinct types of R&D investment - in-house R&D and entry investment....
