Growth Theory through the Lens of Development Economics (2004, neutral): “13For example, as in Acemoglu and Zilibotti (2001) or Howitt and Mayer (2002) 14As suggested, for example, in the work by Foster and Rosenzweig (1995) on the green revolution, which we discussed above.”

Inequality in Landownership, the Emergence of Human-Capital Promoting Institutions, and the Great Divergence (2009, positive): “…would implement an efficient tax policy and converge to a higher income steady-state provided that the 21Barriers to technological adoption that may lead to divergence are explored by Caselli and Coleman (2002), Howitt and Mayer-Foulkes (2005) and Acemoglu, Aghion and Zilibotti (2006) as well.”
The technology clubs: the distribution of knowledge across nations (2008, background): “The characteristics of these technology clubs closely resemble those of the ‘innovation’, ‘imitation’ and ‘stagnation’ groups identified by the recent model of Howitt and Mayer-Foulkes (2005).”
Catch-up and fall-back through innovation and imitation (2013, positive): “As imitation facilitates technology diffusion from an agent at the frontier, the productivity of imitation will depend on characteristics of both the agent itself and the agent it is imitating.4 This relationship is modeled 2 Along similar lines, see Howitt and Mayer-Foulkes (2005).”
