In their famous paper on the "Big Push", Murphy, Shleifer, and Vishny (1989) show how the combination of increasing returns to scale at the firm level and pecuniary externalities can give rise to a poverty trap, thereby formalising an old idea due to Rosenstein-Rodan (1943). We develop in this...

The demographic transition is introduced into the otherwise standard Ramsey model to generate multiple equilibria, poverty traps, and demography-driven cycles. The model is calibrated for global data to explore the demographic conditions under which multiplicity is realized. Three cases arise,...

We study the effect of endogenous time preference in a simple neo-classical model of growth. The variation of time … properties of these steady states are analyzed. The results are interpreted in light of the growth experiences of developing …

This paper uses a modi.ed Harrodian model to understand both the long period of rapid Japanese growth and the recent … period of stagnation. The model has multiple steady-growth solutions when the labour supply is highly elastic, and government … intervention, we argue, took the Japanese economy onto a high-growth trajectory.
