Sediment mass-balance analysis provides key constraints on stratigraphic architecture and its controls. We use the data-rich Middle Jurassic Brent Delta sediment routing system in proto-Viking Graben, Northern North Sea, to estimate budgets between source areas depositional sinks. Published studies are synthesised provide an age-constrained sequence framework, consisting of four previously defi...

We build an endogenous growth model with automation (the replacement of low-skill workers machines) and horizontal innovation creation new products). Over time, the share innovations endogenously increases through increase in wages, leading to skill premium a decline labor share. calibrate US economy show that it quantitatively replicates paths premium, share, productivity. Our offers perspecti...
