Abstract: Tobin's average q has usually been well above 1, but fell below 1 during 1974-
1984. Our model explains this pattern and reconciles it with unchanging aggregate
investment. The stock market value in the numerator of q reflects ownership of physical ...
When a production process requires two extremely complementary inputs, conventional
wisdom holds that a firm would always upgrade them simultaneously. We show, however,
that if upgrading each input involves a fixed cost, the firm may upgrade them at different ...

This paper develops a dynamic model with transaction costs to determine the equilibrium
resale pattern in a market for a durable good. The key result is that the probability of resale is
nonmonotonic in the age of the good. Trade volume is relatively low in the very beginning ...

We develop a new general equilibrium growth accounting framework that features
increasing returns to scale, imperfect competition and incorporates technological revolutions
into the description of technical progress. We propose a way to tell apart revolutionary ...

We construct key household and individual economic variables using a panel micro data set
from the Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS) for 1994–2005. We analyze cross-
sectional income and consumption inequality trends and find that inequality decreased ...

Using a life-cycle model in which women divide their time between home and market work,
we establish a link between retirement wealth and the value of forgone home production.
We use data from the Health and Retirement Study to estimate the model's parameters ...

Abstract During the late 1990s the market value of US businesses grew at 15% per year. It is
hard to reconcile such fast growth with observed rates of investment in physical capital and
R&D. We therefore propose a model in which new ideas are privately owned but ...

Abstract: Economists have long thought of technological progress as a primary determinant
of rising living standards over time. One might think of technological progress as increasing
the" effectiveness" of labor, thereby raising the amount of output that each unit of labor can ...

Abstract We study a model with a durable good subject to periodic obsolescence, and
characterize analytically the optimal purchasing policy. The key result is that consumers
optimally synchronize new purchases with the innovation cycle. Consequently, some ...

Abstract: To study the role of home production in life¿ cycle behavior, this paper creates a
theoretical model in which both spouses in a couple allocate their time between market and
home work. It then derives a pair of regression equations for estimating the parameters of ...

We explore asset pricing in the context of the one-sector Benhabib-Farmer-Guo (BFG)
model with increasing returns to scale in production and compare our results with financial
implications of the standard dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model. Our ...

Abstract An individual with time0inconsistent preferences can use technology choice as a
commitment device. In order to avoid overwork, he may find it optimal to reject a modern
technology. Therefore, having more technologies available never makes an isolated ...

D Stolyarov - University of Pennsylvania, 1997
This paper deals with processes that require several complementary inputs subject to
improvements in quality. If after a quality upgrade one of these inputs requires a period of
learning before it can be used effectively, then in general it will pay to purchase the inputs ...

Abstract: Economists' principal tool for studying household behavioral responses to changes
in tax and other government policies, and the magnitude and determinants of private saving,
is the life-cycle model. The purpose of this paper is to attempt to incorporate into that ...

Abstract We build a general equilibrium model where growth is driven by new ideas that can
have varying degrees of complementarity with previous innovations. The novel feature is
that some private agents can appropriate the value of knowledge spillovers that their ...

Abstract We build a general equilibrium model in which growth is driven by two invention
types: fundamental ideas that cause creative destruction, and derivative ideas that enhance
the value of existing inventions. The model provides a new mapping from microeconomic, ...

Abstract We use micro data on income and wealth to estimate the value of foregone home
production by working married women. Our key finding is that the costs of womenms labor
force participation are modest: for every dollar that a married woman earns in the market, ...

Abstract When the costs of adjusting inputs are not convex, a firm will sometimes wish to
adopt complementary technologies at different times. The conclusion is reinforced when it
takes time to learn how to operate the technologies. Complementarities (a) cause less" ...

sector expands by adding new establishments. Costs of investment are linear but, in the
case of net investment, depend upon the risk of entry failure. We can measure the risk, ...
