The economy exhibits exogenous deterministic technological change. Technology requires skills that are specific to the vintage. A stationary competitive equilibrium is defined and shown to exist and be unique, as well as Pareto optimal. The stationary equilibrium is characterized by an endogenous distribution of skilled workers across vintages. The distribution is shown to be single peaked, and under general conditions there is a lag between the time when a technology appears and the peak of its usage, what is known as diffusion. An increase in the rate of exogenous technological charge shirts the distribution of human capital to more recent vintages and increases the relative wage of the unskilled workers in each vintage."^^; "1987-10"; "2018-03-29T18:35:27.622078193+00:00"^^; ; "2019-07-12T20:20:48.710230381+00:00"^^; "Conference Proceeding"; "129", "344"; "Models of economic growth and development"; ; ; ; ; "Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.
