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 …

Introducing fertility choice into an R&D-based semi-endogenous growth model makes it possible for the economy's long … "subsistence" fertility level to the model, there may (but may not) emerge an asymptotic balanced growth path with positive growth …-run growth rate to be again fully endogenously determined. A positive growth rate along the balanced growth path requires a …

Transitional dynamics in growth models have been subject to much attention recently. With a few exceptions, existing …

endogenous economic growth. In the 1st part of the paper the basics of the MWR method are described. Attention is mainly … part of the paper is devoted to the setup of a model of endogenous growth with human capital accumulation and the … of the problem which eliminates the growth in variables is then presented and the MWR method is used to solve the model …

We calibrate an infinite-horizon model with endogenous growth and unemployment on actual data from the largest … lump-sum transfers, reducing labor taxes and unemployment subsidies is beneficial to both employment and growth, while …

The paper develops a Romer-type growth model with a research sector, a manufacturing sector, and a financial sector and … shows that inflation has an adverse effect on economic growth. Higher inflation increases the incentives for agents to use … sector and shifts resources out of other sectors of the economy including research, the engine of growth, into the financial …

aggregate relations. This paper establishes a bridge between the aggregation and the inequality and growth literature by … applying a log-linear aggregation method to a simple heterogeneous AK growth model. The aggregation effect is explicitly … captured in the growth equation by the changes of the mean logarithmic deviation (MLD or Theil’s second measure) of the income …
