Abstract This paper develops a static model of endogenous task-based technical progress to study how factor scarcity induces technological progress and changes in factor prices. The equilibrium technology is multi-dimensional and not strongly factor-saving in the sense of Acemoglu (2010). Nevertheless, labour scarcity induces labour productivity growth. There is a weak but no strong absolute equilibrium bias. This model provides a plausible interpretation of the famous contention of Hicks (1932) about the role of factor prices and factor endowments for induced innovations. It may serve as a microfoundation for canonical macro-economic models. Moreover, it accommodates features like endogenous factor supplies and a binding minimum wage.

内生的基于任务的技术变革—因子稀缺性和价格

摘要本文建立了一个基于内生任务的技术进步的静态模型，以研究要素稀缺如何诱发技术进步和要素价格的变化。平衡技术是多维的，从Acemoglu（2010）的意义上讲，并不是节省大量因素。然而，劳动力稀缺导致劳动生产率的增长。绝对平衡偏差很小但没有很强。该模型为希克斯（1932）关于要素价格和要素end赋在诱导创新中的作用这一著名论点提供了合理的解释。它可以作为规范宏观经济模型的微观基础。此外，它还具有内生要素供给和具有约束力的最低工资等功能。
