Necessity Is the Mother of Invention: Input Supplies and Directed Technical Change
This study provides causal evidence that a shock to the relative supply of inputs to production can (1) affect the direction of technological progress and (2) lead to a rebound in the relative price of the input that became relatively more abundant (the strong induced‐bias hypothesis). I exploit the...

520 | |a This study provides causal evidence that a shock to the relative supply of inputs to production can (1) affect the direction of technological progress and (2) lead to a rebound in the relative price of the input that became relatively more abundant (the strong induced‐bias hypothesis). I exploit the impact of the U.S. Civil War on the British cotton textile industry, which reduced supplies of cotton from the Southern United States, forcing British producers to shift to lower‐quality Indian cotton. Using detailed new data, I show that this shift induced the development of new technologies that augmented Indian cotton. As these new technologies became available, I show that the relative price of Indian/U.S. cotton rebounded to its pre‐war level, despite the increased relative supply of Indian cotton. This is the first paper to establish both of these patterns empirically, lending support to the two key predictions of leading directed technical change theories. | ||

Necessity Is the Mother of Invention: Input Supplies and Directed Technical Change |
abstract |
This study provides causal evidence that a shock to the relative supply of inputs to production can (1) affect the direction of technological progress and (2) lead to a rebound in the relative price of the input that became relatively more abundant (the strong induced‐bias hypothesis). I exploit the impact of the U.S. Civil War on the British cotton textile industry, which reduced supplies of cotton from the Southern United States, forcing British producers to shift to lower‐quality Indian cotton. Using detailed new data, I show that this shift induced the development of new technologies that augmented Indian cotton. As these new technologies became available, I show that the relative price of Indian/U.S. cotton rebounded to its pre‐war level, despite the increased relative supply of Indian cotton. This is the first paper to establish both of these patterns empirically, lending support to the two key predictions of leading directed technical change theories. |

Using detailed new data, I show that this shift induced the development of new technologies that augmented Indian cotton. As these new technologies became available, I show that the relative price of Indian/U.S. cotton rebounded to its pre‐war level, despite the increased relative supply of Indian cotton. This is the first paper to establish both of these patterns empirically, lending support to the two key predictions of leading directed technical change theories.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="540" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Nutzungsrecht: © 2015 The Econometric Society</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="540" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">© COPYRIGHT 2015 Blackwell Publishers Ltd.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">strong induced bias</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Directed technical change</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">induced innovation</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Textile fabrics</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Cotton industry</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Supply</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Economic history</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Cotton</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">American Civil War</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Studies</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Technological change</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Textile industry</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="773" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Enthalten in</subfield><subfield code="t">Econometrica</subfield><subfield code="d">[Wechselnde Erscheinungsorte] : [Wechselnde Verlage], 1933</subfield><subfield code="g">83(2015), 1, Seite 67-100</subfield><subfield code="w">(DE-627)129069795</subfield><subfield code="w">(DE-600)1798-X</subfield><subfield code="w">(DE-576)014401576</subfield><subfield code="x">0012-9682</subfield><subfield code="7">nnns</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="773" ind1="1" ind2="8"><subfield code="g">volume:83</subfield><subfield code="g">year:2015</subfield><subfield code="g">number:1</subfield><subfield code="g">pages:67-100</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="1"><subfield code="u">http://dx.doi.org/10.3982/ECTA10811</subfield><subfield code="3">Volltext</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="2"><subfield code="u">http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.3982/ECTA10811/abstract</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="2"><subfield code="u">http://search.proquest.com/docview/1658776262</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">GBV_USEFLAG_A</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">SYSFLAG_A</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">GBV_OLC</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">SSG-OLC-MAT</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">SSG-OLC-WIW</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">GBV_ILN_22</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">GBV_ILN_26</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">GBV_ILN_30</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">GBV_ILN_31</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">GBV_ILN_39</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">GBV_ILN_40</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">GBV_ILN_60</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">GBV_ILN_70</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">GBV_ILN_2004</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">GBV_ILN_2006</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">GBV_ILN_2012</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">GBV_ILN_4012</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">GBV_ILN_4125</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">GBV_ILN_4326</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">GBV_ILN_4700</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="936" ind1="b" ind2="k"><subfield code="a">83.00</subfield><subfield code="q">AVZ</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="951" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">AR</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="952" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="d">83</subfield><subfield code="j">2015</subfield><subfield code="e">1</subfield><subfield code="h">67-100</subfield></datafield></record></collection>
