This paper studies the relation between long-term economic growth and time preference of households in the context of a simple model of endogenous growth. We assume that the rate of time preference depends on the level of household's patience (stock of patience capital). It is assumed that the...

This paper explores the long-run impacts of tax policy in a two-country model of endogenous growth with variable labor supply. We focus on international spillover effects of tax reforms under alternative trade structures. It is shown that if the instantaneous utility function of the...

This paper examines the role of interest-rate feedback rule in a monetary endogenous growth model in which money is introduced via a cash-in-advance constraint and long-run growth is sustained by external increasing returns. It is shown that dynamic properties as well as the balanced-growth...

This paper studies the relation between patterns of long-term economic growth and indeterminacy of equilibrium in an endogenous growth model with human capital formation. By introducing sector-specific externalities and a non-separable utility function into the Lucas model, we show that multiple...

This paper re-examines equilibrium determinacy under the interest-rate control rules in a simple model of endogenous growth. We use a standard money-in-the-utility formulation with fixed labor supply and an Ak technology under which the balanced-growth path is unique and money is superneutral in...

This paper assumes that human capital is a composite of two types of knowledge and skills: one is accumulated by formal education in schools and the other is accumulated through working experiences in production activities. Introducing such a concept of human capital into the standard...

This paper introduces external habit formation into one of the basic models of endogenous growth in which continuing expansion of product variety sustains long-term growth. We assume that households consume a range of final goods and they set a benchmark level of consumption for each good. The...
