    • Isoelastic Elasticity of Substitution Production Functions 

      Growiec, Jakub; Mućk, Jakub (2016-01)
      We generalize the normalized Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) production function by allowing the elasticity of substitution to vary isoelastically with (i) relative factor shares, (ii) marginal rates of substitution, ...
    • Endogenous Labor Share Cycles: Theory and Evidence 

      Growiec, Jakub; Mućk, Jakub; McAdam, Peter (2016-09)
      Based on long US time series we document a range of empirical properties of the labor's share of GDP. We identify its substantial medium-to-long run, pro-cylical swings and show that most of its variance lies beyond ...
    • Social Network Structure and The Trade-Off Between Social Utility and Economic Performance 

      Growiec, Katarzyna; Growiec, Jakub; Kamiński, Bogumił (2017-03)
      Based on a novel computational multi-agent model, we identify the keymechanisms allowing the social network structure, summarized by four key socialcapital dimensions (network degree, centrality, bridging and bonding social ...
    • Mapping the Dimensions of Social Capital 

      Growiec, Katarzyna; Growiec, Jakub; Kamiński, Bogumił (2017-03)
      We provide a novel survey dataset of a representative sample of the Polish population (n = 1000), allowing for a detailed quantification of Bourdieu's (1986) definition of social capital as the aggregate of resources ...
    • On the Optimal Labor Income Share 

      Growiec, Jakub; McAdam, Peter; Mućk, Jakub (2018-02)
      Labor's share of income has attracted interest in recent years reflecting its apparent decline. These falls, witnessed across many countries, are usually deemed undesirable. Any such assertion, however, begs the question ...
    • The Digital Era, Viewed From a Perspective of Millennia of Economic Growth 

      Growiec, Jakub (2018-04)
      I propose a synthetic theory of economic growth and technological progress over the entire human history. Based on this theory as well as on the analogies with three previous eras (the hunter-gatherer era, the agricultural ...
    • Social Network Dynamics : Individual-Level Mechanisms and Aggregate Outcomes 

      Growiec, Katarzyna; Growiec, Jakub; Kamiński, Bogumił (2018-05-10)
      Based on a calibrated computational multi-agent model with an overlapping generations structure, we investigate society-level consequences of creation and destruction of social ties at the individual level. The steady state ...
    • The Hardware-Software Model: A New Conceptual Framework of Production, R&D, and Growth with AI 

      Growiec, Jakub (2019-02)
      The article proposes a new conceptual framework for capturing production, R&D, and economic growth in aggregative models which extend their horizon into the digital era. Two key factors of production are considered: hardware, ...
    • Automation, Partial and Full 

      Growiec, Jakub (2020-04)
      When some steps of a complex, multi-step task are automated, the demand for human work in the remaining complementary sub-tasks goes up. In contrast, when the task is fully automated, the demand for human work declines. ...
    • What Will Drive Long-Run Growth in the Digital Age? 

      Growiec, Jakub (2021-07)
      This paper considers the prospective sources of long-run growth in the future. Historically, in the industrial era and at the early stage of the digital era (which began approximately in the 1980s) the main growth engine ...
    • Are Ideas Really Getting Harder To Find? R&D Capital and the Idea Production Function 

      Growiec, Jakub; McAdam, Peter; Mućk, Jakub (2022-02)
      We supplement the 'Idea Production Function' (IPF) with measures of R&D capital. We construct a time series of R&D capital stock in the US (1968-2019) based on cumulated R&D investment. We estimate the IPF with patent ...
    • R&D Capital : An Engine of Growth 

      Growiec, Jakub (2022-05-10)
      Research and development (R&D) requires not only skilled research work, but also dedicated machinery and equipment: R&D capital. In this paper I demonstrate that R&D, producing labor-augmenting ideas, and the accumulation ...
    • Hardware and Software over the Course of Long-Run Growth: Theory and Evidence 

      Growiec, Jakub; Jabłońska, Julia; Parteka, Aleksandra (2023-09)
      Output is generated through purposefully initiated physical action. Production needs energy and information, provided by respective factors: hardware (“brawn”), including physical labor and physical capital, and software ...
