Bounded rationality is introduced into a standard growth model by assuming that households form one-period ahead least squares forecasts on production factor prices, and expect that future level of consumption and physical capital will be consistent with the balanced growth path. Under those...

This paper investigates the influence of clean-up subsidies on the dynamics of models of production-environment interaction in continuous time. We show that complex dynamics can arise in the cases of socially optimal and decentralised solutions. Thus, it is possible that pollution can increase...

The models used in economic theory, though necessarily abstract, should be consistent with the nature of decision making behavior. A formal metaphor of individual behavior as a continuous flow indicates certain requirements that theories of consumer, producer, and economywide behavior should...

The Representative Agent Growth Model is estimated econometrically using the Generalized Method of Moments for the U.S. economy for three separate Growth Eras and the results compared to those obtained using the Kydland--Prescott calibration approach. The estimated parameters differ...

That trajectories of variables in economic models can become chaotic when natural non-linearities are incorporated, and do so generically, is a fact well established in a great variety of contexts and, presumably, one that is well known. Its implications, however, for empirical modelling and...
