We develop a model that, at the aggregate level, is similar to the one sector neoclassical growth model, while, at the disaggregate level, has implications for the path of observable measures of technology adoption. We estimate our model using data on the diffusion of 15 technologies in 166...

We present a tractable model for analyzing the relationship between economic growth and the intensive and extensive margins of technology adoption. The "extensive" margin refers to the timing of a country's adoption of a new technology; the "intensive" margin refers to how many units are adopted...

This paper studies the macroeconomic impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) using a quantitative trade model with multiple sectors, multiple factors of production, and intermediate linkages. The reallocation of tasks from labour to AI services will generate productivity gains in the model, and...

This paper models technology adoption as replacing workers by machines, which perform the same job in the production process. The paper shows that such modelling of technology adoption affects significantly the analysis of economic growth. This model can explain large and persistent...

Rodrik (2016) pointed out that late industrializing countries are experiencing a lower peak at lower income levels in the manufacturing employment share hump-shaped path. The present study develops a theoretical model to analyze the dynamics of industrialization and deindustrialization in...

We prove a generalized, multi-factor version of the Uzawa steady-state growth theorem, Balanced growth with capital-augmenting technical change is possible when capital has a unitary elasticity of substitution with at least one other factor of production, Thus, a neoclassical growth model with...

We prove a generalized, multi-factor version of the Uzawa steady-state growth theorem. The theorem implies that neoclassical growth models need at least three factors of production to be consistent with empirical evidence on both the capital-labor elasticity of substitution and the existence of...
