Theoretical study identifying one modality with conditions necesary for the financial stabilization of an inherently unstable system; and 5040 other unstable dynamic modes. It draws on knowledge made available by the academic field of Control Engineering.

We calibrate an infinite-horizon model with endogenous growth and unemployment on actual data from the largest countries in the European Union. Two types of balanced-budget fiscal policy experiments are studied. First, the effects of separately changing the tax rates on capital, labor and...

The paper analyzes the convergence dynamics of a log-linearized open- economy neoclassical growth model under the assumptions of large adjustment costs for human capital investment, moderate adjustment costs for physical capital investment, and perfect capital mobility. The model can be...

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...

The "linearity critique" of endogenous growth models is presented in a general context of an arbitrary growth model and reassessed. It is argued, that presence of linearities is not a valid criterion for rejecting growth models. Existence of exponential/geometrical steady- state growth (i.e. of...

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...

Este documento analiza el impacto de un shock en la tasa de interés externa en la economía chilena. Con este fin, se estima un modelo empírico de Vectores Autoregresivos y adicionalmente se desarrolla un modelo estocástico de equilibrio general calibrado y parametrizado para la economía...

This paper examines a particular aspect of entrepreneurship, namely firms' ability to respond appropriately to unexpected changes in the environment (i.e., their adaptability). An increase in firms' adaptability improves allocative efficiency in a competitive economy, but can reduce it when...

The paper considers the legacy for modern macroeconomics of Kalecki’s theory of income determination. The latter is reconstructed in its analytical constituent parts referring in detail to the original sources. The critical appraisal of its historical relevance is made from the vantage point...

In this paper we consider different explanations for why the coefficient associated with human capital is often negative in growth regressions once country-specific effects are controlled for, whereas the coefficient in question is strongly positive in cross-sectional or panel results based on...
