Uzawaś steady-state growth theorem (Uzawa (1961)) is generalized to a neoclassical economy that uses current output, e. g., to create technical progress or to manufacture intermediates. The difference between aggregate final-good production and these resources is referred to as net output. The...

This paper develops a static model of endogenous task-based technical progress to study how factor scarcity induces technological progress and changes in factor prices. The equilibrium technology is multi-dimensional and not strongly factor-saving in the sense of Acemoglu (2010). Nevertheless,...

This paper extends the Lucas (1978) model of firm formation by taking into account a normalised CES function in the production process. In a general equilibrium framework it is proved that there is an inverse relation between the value of the elasticity of substitution and average firm size....
