In this paper, we define specific (general) human capital in terms of the occupations whose use is spread in a limited (wide) set of industries. We analyze the growth impact of an economy's composition of specific and general human capital, in a model where education and R&D are costly and...

This paper studies the dynamical properties of an extension of the well-known Romer model of endogenous growth introduced by Benhabib, Perli, and Xie (1994). This model differs from the Romer model by introducing complementarity of intermediate capital goods. It allows an indeterminate steady...

This paper considers the well known Romer model of endogenous technological change and its extension where different intermediate capital goods are complementary, introduced in (Benhabib, Perli, and Xie 1994). They have shown that this modification allows indeterminate steady state for...
