Croissance, innovations organisationnelles et progrès technique biaisé

Abstract

This article suggests that the biased technical progress observed in the Western world during the last twenty years is due to organisational innovations. To show this, we explore an endogenous growth model in which businesses use an O-ring type production technology. It is assumed that organisational innovations may appear during every period. These new technologies are adopted only by businesses using highly skilled labour and bring about technical progress slanted in favour of workers with the best skills. When the labour market is non-competitive, innovations may worsen unemployment among the least skilled workers. But they always increase the economic growth rate.
