Stimulating long-term growth and welfare in the U.S

Working Papers from Business School - Economics, University of Glasgow

Abstract: We develop an endogenous growth model to quantify how permanent structural policy changes that enhance the fiscal policy mix, markets functioning, and public institutions quality affect long-term growth and welfare. The reforms include increased public investment, reduced market power through lower price mark ups for patents and intermediate goods, and an improved institutional framework that reduces rent-seeking. All reforms, except lower patent prices, lead to per-capita output and welfare gains along the transition and balanced growth paths. In contrast, a lower mark up in the research sector hurts innovation, leading to lower growth over both paths and welfare losses along the transition.
