Abstract

This paper develops an endogenous growth model with doubly differentiated R&D being the growth engine. The model incorporates dynamic structural change and heterogeneous knowledge spillovers. As a result, decentralized economy may exhibit non-monotonic growth paths and declining R&D productivity. Conditions on the knowledge spillover operator granting the existence of balanced growth for first-best and market economies are obtained. Different regulation tools helpful in achieving the sustainable path and their limits are studied.
