Appropriate Technology and Growth

David Weil

Working Papers from Brown University, Department of Economics

Abstract: We present a model of growth and technology transfer based on the idea that technologies are specific to particular combinations of inputs. We argue that this model is more realistic that the usual specification in which an improvement in any technique for producing a given good improves all other techniques for producing that good.
