The replacement problem

Article Abstract:

How an adoption-replacement decision can affect an economy's long-run growth is analyzed. A dynamic vintage capital model is formulated where depreciation and growth are treated as exogenous and capital disappears only because of replacement. Results reveal that more efficient capital goods are produced when investments are made in human capital by skilled agents. Results also reveal that a continual displacement of old technologies by more efficient new ones will have implications on both employment and unemployment.
