This paper introduces endogenous and directed technical change in a growth model with environmental constraints. A unique final good is produced by combining inputs from two sectors. One of these sectors uses "dirty" machines and thus creates environmental degradation. Research can be directed...

Does regulation affect the pace and nature of innovation and if so, by how much? We builda tractable and quantifiable endogenous growth model with size-contingent regulations. Weapply this to population administrative firm panel data from France, where many labourregulations apply to firms with...
