We study innovation and the resulting Schumpeterian economic growth that this innovation gives rise to in a model with N heterogeneous regions. For each region i where i=1,...,N, our analysis leads to five findings. First, we define the balanced growth path (BGP) allocations and the equilibrium...

We analyze two theoretical models of the connections between physical capital mobility, education in and the quality of creative capital, and the production of output in a region that is creative in the sense of Richard Florida. Our first model focuses on a single region which produces a...

We study the implications of the interaction between human capital and knowledge spillovers for one kind of semi-endogenous economic growth in a region. We focus on two cases. In the first (second) case, there is no growth (growth) in the stock of human capital but knowledge spillovers are...

We study the effects of learning by doing resulting from the production of a final good on economic growth in a region that is creative in the sense of Richard Florida. Firms in this region use creative and physical capital to produce output. We model learning by doing formally and our analysis...

We provide what to the best of our knowledge is the first theoretical analysis of the total effects of human capital use, innovative activity, and patent protection, on economic growth in a model with many regions. In each region, consumers have constant relative risk aversion preferences, there...

We use a multi-region model and provide the first theoretical analysis of the effects of human capital use and a particular kind of innovative activity on economic growth. In each of the N heterogeneous regions in our model, consumers have constant relative risk aversion preferences, there are...
