Capital Accumulation and Embodied Technological Progress
This paper combines technology adoption with capital accumulation taking into account technological progress. We model this as a multi-stage optimal control problem and solve it using the corresponding maximum principle. The model with linear revenue can be solved analytically, while the model with market power is solved numerically. We obtain that investment jumps upwards right at the moment t...
متن کاملAnticipation effects of technological progress on capital accumulation: a vintage capital approach
Due to embodied technological progress new generations of capital goods are more productive. Therefore, in order to study the effects of technological progress, a model must be analyzed in which different generations of capital goods can be distinguished. We determine in what way the firm adjusts current investments to predictions of technological progress. In the presence of market power we sh...
متن کاملInvestment Specific Technological Progress and Structural Change
In this paper we introduce investment specific technical progress into Pasinetti’s model of structural change. Our aim is to assess the effects of embodied technical progress on economic growth and macroeconomic variables. Our findings suggest that despite the fact that this type of technical progress increases the productivity of capital, it has negative effects on conditions that promote full...
متن کاملOptimal capital accumulation and embodied technological progress under uncertainty¤
This paper proposes a stochastic model of investment with embodied technological progress, in which ...rms invest not only to expand the capacity as in Pindyck (1988) but also to replace old machines. The scrapping decision or the age of the oldest machine is then endogenous and evolves stochastically. Uncertainty increases the optimal age of the machines in use, and due to uncertainty, not onl...
