Book Technical Change  Variable Elasticity of Substitution and Economic Growth

Download or read book Technical Change Variable Elasticity of Substitution and Economic Growth written by Sharmila Gamlath and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We incorporate a variable elasticity of substitution production function into an overlapping generations model à la Diamond (1965). We show that a certain parameter in the production function is a source of biased technical change is a crucial determinant of the economy's growth dynamics. For positive values of this parameter, which lead to an elasticity of substitution between capital and labour which is greater than 1, the economy always reaches a unique and stable steady state which is similar to the conditional convergence in the standard Solow growth model. For negative values of this parameter, which yield an elasticity of substitution below 1, the economy could either fall into a poverty trap; or display two steady states, of which one is stable while the other is not, which could, depending on the value of the initial capital stock, potentially result in divergence towards unbounded growth. These different outcomes are consistent with the observed diversity in international growth experiences. The capital biased technical change generated by a higher value of this parameter improves productivity in steady state, but causes an exacerbation of intergenerational inequality.

Book Estimates of Substitution Elasticities and Factor Augmented Technical Changes

Download or read book Estimates of Substitution Elasticities and Factor Augmented Technical Changes written by Taoyuan Wei and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper estimates substitution elasticity between labor and capital in a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) production function based on the World Input-Output Database (WIOD, Timmer 2012). I estimate the elasticities and growth rates of factor-augmented technical progress based on the two first order conditions (FOCs) under the assumption of competitive profit-maximization producers. Taking into account for the capital as a fixed input and the labor as a variable input in the short term particularly within a year, I adopt the FOC with respect to capital where capital input is the explanatory variable and the FOC with respect to labor where wage rate is the explanatory variable. The results show that the industrial elastisities fall within a range from 0.4 to 0.9 and aggregate country-level elasticity is around 0.62. 90% of the estimated annual changes in factor-augmented technology fall within a range from -0.12 to 0.17. At the country level, 35 of the 40 countries exhibit net labor-augmenting technical progress.

Book On the Production Function with Variable Elasticity of Factor Substitution

Download or read book On the Production Function with Variable Elasticity of Factor Substitution written by Constantin Chilarescu and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main aim of this paper is to prove the existence of a new production function with variable elasticity of factor substitution. The econometric estimates presented in the paper confirm some other results and reinforces the conclusion that the sigma is well-below the Cobb-Douglas value of one.

Book Empirical Essays on the Elasticity of Substitution  Technical Change  and Economic Growth

Download or read book Empirical Essays on the Elasticity of Substitution Technical Change and Economic Growth written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We estimate the elasticity of substitution using two different production functions. The usual Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) production function and a Box-Cox production function for Japan (1890-1991), UK (1870-1991), and US (1890-1992; 1929-2000). The main results are that we find the ES to be non-unitary and changing over time. Our findings have implications for economic growth (theoretical and empirical), as production is an increasing function of the ES. The use of a Cobb-Douglas production function, as in most cases in the literature, hides the role of the ES not only as a source of increase in output but also as a source of technical change. Also, we found in a monte carlo simulation that usual CES production usually does not give reliable estimates for the substitution parameter. Finally, using a CES to calculate TFP across countries, we found that variance of TFP is lower than using a Cobb-Douglas. It implies that the importance of TFP to explain income differences across countries is diminished.
