Abstract

Una tecnología, a diferencia de la mayoría de bienes y servicios, tiene el potencial para ser usada por un número ilimitado de personas. No obstante, al asumir ausencia de rivalidad en el uso de tecnologías, los modelos de crecimiento endógeno tienden a generar trayectorias de crecimiento explosivas. Este documento argumenta que al introducir rezagos en el proceso de difusión tecnológica, la no rivalidad se desvincula de los rendimientos crecientes a escala, imposibilitando la existencia de crecimiento explosivo. Con este fin, se formula un modelo de generaciones traslapadas donde los agentes observan las innovaciones tecnol´ogicas de sus vecinos, pero s´olo pueden implementarlas un periodo después. El modelo muestra cómo la existencia de una élite innovadora es una condición necesaria para un crecimiento económico sostenido. Más aun, el crecimiento viene dado por la propensi´on a innovar de esta élite, mientras que las caracter´ısticas medias de la población carecen de papel alguno en la determinación de la tasa de crecimiento de largo plazo.
