  • Firm innovation under import competition from low‐wage countries

    Open AccessUjjayant Chakravorty, Runjuan Liu et al.ARTICLEWorld Economy2024

    In recent years, manufacturing firms in the United States have faced increasing import competition from low‐wage countries, especially China. Does this competition hurt or help firm innovation? This paper studies the effect of the surge in imports from China on innovation by US manufacturing firms. We first propose a theoretical framework that generates an inverted‐U‐shaped curve of innovation on imitation, which is based on the endogenous price …

  • Coûts de défrichement, rente foncière et valeur de la terre agricole

    Jean‐Pierre Amigues, Jean-Pierre Amigues et al.ARTICLERevue économique2013

    On se propose de montrer, dans cet article, que la non-prise en compte des coûts de défrichement ne permet pas de construire une dynamique de l’extension des terres cultivées lorsque la pression de la demande des produits de l’agriculture voudrait qu’il faille consacrer aux activités agricoles une part croissante des terres disponibles. Nous montrons aussi que la pertinence des prédictions d’un modèle statique, quant à l’extension maximale de cet…

  • Politiques pro-biocarburants et climatique américaines

    Ujjayant Chakravorty, Marie-Hélène Hubert et al.ARTICLERevue économique2010References: 1

    Nous analysons l’impact de deux politiques américaines sur la production et les échanges d’éthanol (biocarburants de première génération) et d’éthanol ligno-cellulosique (biocarburant de seconde génération) aux Etats-Unis et au Brésil ainsi que sur les émissions directes et indirectes de carbone. La première politique est une politique dite «pro-biocarburants» qui impose un usage minimal de biocarburants. La deuxième est la politique climatique d…

  • Endogenous Substitution among Energy Resources and Global Warming

    Ujjayant Chakravorty, James Roumasset et al.ARTICLEJournal of Political Economy1997Cited by: 7References: 1

    A model of global warming with endogenous substitution of energy resources and multiple energy demands is developed. It suggests that, if historical rates of cost reduction in the production of solar energy are maintained, most of the world's coal will never be used. The world will move from oil and natural gas use to solar energy. Temperatures will rise by only about 1.5-2.0 degrees centigrade by the middle of the twenty-first century and then d…
