Closed form solutions to a generalization of the Solow growth model.

Maldonado, Erick José Limas; Brida, Juan Gabriel - EconWPA - 2005

The Solow growth model assumes that labor force grows exponentially. This is not a realistic assumption because, exponential growth implies that population increases to infinity as time tends to infinity. In this paper we propose replacing the exponential population growth with a simple and more...

Optimum Population Growth with CIES Preference in the Infinite- Horizon Ramsey Model

Wang, Ralph Z. - EconWPA - 2005

When the preference over intertemporal consumptions is of CIES type and human capital enters the production function in a secific way, we show that the optimum population growth rate is exactly the subjective discount rate in an infinite-horizon Ramsey Model.

Accinelli, Elvio; Brida, Juan Gabriel - EconWPA - 2005

In standard economic growth theory it is usually assumed that labor force follows exponential growth. That is not a realistic assumption. In this paper we introduce a generalized logistic equation (Richards law) that describes more accurately population growth. Then we analyze the neoclassical...

Mortality and early growth in England, France, and Sweden

Lagerloef, Nils-Petter - EconWPA - 2002

We set up an open-economy, three-country version of the endogenous- mortality model of Lagerloef (forthcoming in the … International Economic Review). The model is calibrated to pre-industrial mortality data from England, France and Sweden. Fitting … parameters to match observed rates of correlation in mortality rates, the model can also account for: (1) differences in the …
