SEMI-ENDOGENOUS VERSUS SCHUMPETERIAN GROWTH MODELS: TESTING THE KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION FUNCTION USING INTERNATIONAL DATA

Jakob Madsen (), Epru and Fru

No 26-07, Monash Economics Working Papers from Monash University, Department of Economics

Abstract: Using various indicators of innovative activity and product variety in the OECD countries over the past century, this paper tests whether first- and second-generation models of economic growth are consistent with the data over time and across countries. The estimation results give evidence in favour of Schumpeterian models while the semi-endogenous growth theories are not consistent with the data.
