中文摘要
越来越明显的是，技术变迁的方向会对经济激励作出反应。我们回顾了环境经济学与劳动经济学背景下有关定向技术变迁的文献，表明这两个领域在理论和实证上都有诸多共同之处。我们强调平衡增长路径的重要性，并表明缺乏这一路径分别与环境经济学中绿色技术发展缓慢、劳动经济学中不平等日益加剧密切相关。我们讨论了创新方向是否具有效率。
Abstract
It is increasingly evident that the direction of technological change responds to economic incentives. We review the literature on directed technical change in the context of environmental economics and labor economics, and we show that these fields have much in common both theoretically and empirically. We emphasize the importance of a balanced growth path and show that the lack of such a path is closely related to the slow development of green technologies in environmental economics and to growing inequality in labor economics. We discuss whether the direction of innovation is efficient.
