Adjustment Costs, Learning-by-Doing, and Technology Adoption under Uncertainty
We consider a variety of vintage capital models of a firm’s choice of technology under uncertainty in the presence of adjustment costs and technology-specific learning. Similar models have been studied in a deterministic setting. Part of our objective is to examine the robustness of the implications of the certainty models to uncertainty. We find that the answer crucially depends on the specifi...
متن کاملTechnical change and pollution abatement costs
There is continuing interest in the trend of costs associated with pollution abatement activities. We specify an environmental production technology to model the joint production of good and bad outputs. The joint production model calculates pollution abatement costs and identifies changes in these costs associated with: (1) technical change, (2) input changes, and (3) changes in bad output pro...

متن کاملTaxation under Learning-by-Doing∗
We study optimal labor-income taxation in a dynamic economy in which the agents’ productivity is their own private information, is stochastic, and evolves endogenously over the lifecycle due to learning-by-doing. First, we identify novel distortions that originate in the endogeneity of the agents’ private information and that contribute to higher labor wedges under the optimal tax code. Next, w...
متن کاملLearning by Doing: Asset Price Bubble Formation with Heterogeneous Agents
In this paper we study the accruement and decay of asset price bubbles under the assumption that young agents behave boundedly rationally when rst entering the market and then gain more and more experience when growing older, nally reaching a state of perfect rational behavior. We set up an overlapping generations model where agents form their beliefs about the payo of a risky asset by combinin...
