Technological Progress and Average Job Matching Quality
Our objective is to study, in a labor market characterized by search frictions, the effects of technological progress on the average quality of the job matches. We will see as results that the effects of technological progress on the labor market depend upon the initial conditions of the economy. If the economy is totally characterized by the presence of low-quality job matches, an increase in ...
متن کاملDiversity and Technological Progress
This paper proposes a tractable model to study the equilibrium diversity of technological progress and shows that equilibrium technological progress may exhibit too little diversity (too much conformity), in particular, foregoing socially bene cial investments in alternativetechnologies that will be used at some point in the future. The presence of future innovations that will replace current...
متن کاملTechnological Growth and Asset Pricing
In this paper we study the implications of general-purpose technological growth for asset prices. The model features two types of shocks: “small”, frequent, and disembodied shocks to productivity and “large” technological innovations, which are embodied into new vintages of the capital stock. While the former affect the economy on impact, the latter affect the economy with lags, since firms nee...
متن کاملAsset and Derivative Pricing with Incomplete Markets
This paper presents a model where uninsurable income shocks and credit constraints generate a demand for liquidity. Infinitely lived agents purchase a risky asset to self insure themselves against their individual risk. They also trade call options to diversify the aggregate risk they face. In this economy, options are not redundant but complete the market for aggregate risk. We are able to cha...
متن کاملCarbon markets and technological innovation
This paper examines the effects of firm-level innovation in carbon-abatement technologies on optimal cap-and-trade schemes with and without price controls. We characterize optimal cap-and-trade regulation with price cap and price floor, and compare it to the special cases of pure taxation and simple emissions cap. Innovation shifts the tradeoff between priceand quantity-based instruments toward...
