Using an endogenous growth model in which learning by doing, although bounded in each good, exhibits spillovers across goods, this paper investigates the dynamic effects of international trade. Examining an LDC and a DC, the latter distinguished by a higher initial level of knowledge, under...

Several economic growth models show that the equilibrium outcome may depend on agents' beliefs (expectations) rather than on economic fundamentals (history). In this situation, the equilibrium is indeterminate. However, if agents have "almost common knowledge" rather than common knowledge about...

For an overlapping generations economy with varying life-cycle productivity, non-stationary endowments, continuous time starting at −∞(hence allowing for full anticipation), constant-returns-to-scale production and CES utility we fully characterise equilibria where output is higher than...
