Can Second-Generation Endogenous Growth Models Explain the Productivity Trends and Knowledge Production in the Asian Miracle Economies? (2011, neutral): “The coefficients of research intensity in this paper are significantly higher than those estimated for the mature industrialized countries by Zachariadis (2003), Ha and Howitt (2007) and Madsen (2008b). Together with the fact that R&D intensity of some of the countries in this study are comparable t”
A Network-based view of regional growth (2014, background): “Knowledge/productivity growth: r r Ar A Ag ≡ (5) Ha and Howitt (2007) outline a general model that incorporates the neoclassical, first generation fully endogenous, second generation fully endogenous and semi-endogenous growth models as special cases.”
The expansion of modern agriculture and global biodiversity decline: An integrated assessment (2016, neutral): “In this setup however, longrun growth is only driven by population growth, which is also at odds with the data (Ha and Howitt, 2007).”
The Economics of Growth (2008, background): “Figure 10.2 from Ha and Howitt (2006) shows that over the second half of the 20th century the contribution of capital accumulation (physical and human) to growth of per capita income has fallen from about one percentage point per year to about one half.”
Financial development, liberalization and technological deepening (2011, methodology): “Integration and cointegration analyses The integration properties of the underlying variables are examined using several panel unit root tests, including that of Im et al. (2003) (IPS), and the Fisher-type tests using the ADF and PP tests of Maddala and Wu (1999) (MW) and Choi (2001), respectively.”
Entrepreneurship, innovation and regional growth: a network theory (2015, methodology): “As a means of integrating both networks and entrepreneurship, Ha and Howitt’ s (2007) general model of output can be used as starting base, which is given by:”
Semi-endogenous versus Schumpeterian growth models: testing the knowledge production function using international data (2008, methodology): “(3)-(5) have been used by Ha and Howitt (2007) to discriminate between the two theories.”
Growth with Quality-Improving Innovations: An Integrated Framework (2005, methodology): “Basic framework 2.1 A toy version of the Aghion-Howitt model Asked by colleagues to show them the simplest possible version of the qualityladder model of endogenous growth which they could teach to second year undergraduate students, we came out with the following stripped-down version of Aghion-How”
The Manhattan Metaphor (2007, methodology): “The demand curve (5), the price strategy (7) and symmetry then yield that at any point in time”
International R&D Spillovers and Institutions (2009, neutral): “1 See the discussion in Helpman (2004) and Ha and Howitt (2007) .”
CO2 Emissions, Research and Technology Transfer in China (2009, positive): “However, some adjustments for the measure of product variety are necessary given that there is a tendency for decreasing returns to R&D due to the increasing complexity of innovation (Ha and Howitt, 2007).”
Scale effects in endogenous growth theory: an error of aggregation not specification (2006, background): “Previous studies have looked at the aggregate empirical implications of endogenous and semiendogenous growth models (e.g., Aghion & Howitt, 2005; Dinopoulos & Thompson, 1999; Ha & Howitt, 2006 Jones, 1995a,b; Zachariadis, 2003) but have not looked at the salient feature of models that distinguish ”
What is the Optimal Rate of R&D Investment to Maximize Productivity Growth? (2009, positive): “Ha and Howitt [ 56 ] argue that long-run trends in R&D and TFP are more supportive of fullyendogenous Schumpeterian growth theory than they are of semi-endogenous growth theory.”
The Anatomy of Growth in the OECD since 1870: the Transformation from the Post-Malthusian Growth Regime to the Modern Growth Epoch (2009, background): “While Ha and Howitt (2007) and Madsen (2008a) find that Schumpeterian models are more consistent with the evidence than semi-endogenous growth models they limit their empirical estimates to R&D and patents and, as such, omit the influence of educational attainment on growth.”
The past and future of knowledge-based growth (2012, positive): “2 Ha and Howitt (2007) as well as several papers by Jakob Madsen (e.g., 2008) investigate empirically whether TFP growth is better explained by R&D expenditure per capita or by aggregate growth of R&D inputs and establish this way supportive evidence for R&D models of the third generation. that…”
