The paper provides a continuous-time version of the discrete-time Mitra- Wan model of optimal forest management, where trees are harvested to maximize the utility of timber flow over an infinite time horizon. The available trees and the other parameters of the problem vary continuously with...

In this paper we are concerned with the equilibrium dynamics of a two-sector model of endogenous growth with distortionary taxes. We show that for certain parameters values and tax schemes every equilibrium orbit--except the steady state solution--is non-interior; i.e., there are times in which...

Se analiza la dinámica de un modelo de crecimiento que incorpora depreciación endógena, utilización variable del capital y gastos de mantenimiento. La actividad de mantenimiento actúa en cierta medida como sustituto de la inversión puesto que reduce la depreciación de capital.

The paper provides a continuous time version of the well known discrete time Mitra-Wan model of optimal forest management, where a forest is harvested to maximize the utility of timber flow over an infinite time horizon. Besides varying with time, the state variable (describing available trees)...

This paper analyzes the equilibrium dynamics of an optimal growth model with endogenous depreciation, variable capital utilization, and expenditures on the maintenance of physical capital. Maintenance reduces the depreciation of capital, utilization affects the activity of maintainance. We...

The elasticity of intertemporal substitution (EIS) at the macro level has been estimated mostly based on endowment economy models and these estimates are very sensitive to the choice of interest rates that are used for estimation. Estimates based on production economy models do not need...
