Growth, Welfare, and Trade in an Integrated Model of Human-Capital Accumulation and Research
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose to endogenize human capital along the lines proposed by Uzawa and Lucas, and show that the pace of long-run growth is unaffected by R&D subsidies, flat-rate taxes, basic research, and cross-border knowledge spillovers and international trade.

How sound are the foundations of the aggregate production function
Jesus Felipe,John McCombie +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the problems raised by aggregation and the Cambridge Capital Theory Controversies, and conclude that the theoretical basis of the aggregate production function is problematic, and that no reliance can be placed on estimates of, for example, the elasticity of substitution as reflecting technological parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Persuasion: Reflections on economics, data, and the ‘homogeneity assumption’
TL;DR: The authors discusses issues to do with the empirical basis of modern economics and points towards the need to look more closely at the "homogeneity assumption" that underpins much economic theory, arguing that severe problems currently prevent economics from becoming more persuasive to both students of economics and those outside the discipline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Confirmation bias: methodological causes and a palliative response
TL;DR: The authors advocate for changes to normative aspects of belief management in applied research and argue for methodologically-required choice to include the possibility of adopting the view that a given dataset contains insufficient regularities for predictive theorising.
Journal ArticleDOI
The scholar as reader: the last 50 years of economic theory seen through G.C. Harcourt’s book reviews
TL;DR: The authors argue that book reviews are a constitutive element of how Harcourt does economics, as they organise different and occasionally disparate theoretical contributions into a coherent narrative that gives form and substance to his theoretical approach.
