This paper develops an endogenous growth model in which public health infrastructure, specified as a stock, plays an important role in economic growth. A notable feature of the model is that it employs a non-separable utility function for consumption, leisure, and the level of public health. In...

In this paper, we develop an endogenous growth model that integrates skill driven technological change, human capital accumulation through formal schooling, with health capital accumulation. The relationships among economic growth, average health level, labor allocation, and longevity of the...

In this paper we will show that for empirically plausible parameter values, a two-sector growth model contained health capital can yield a slow speed adjustment process. Calibrating the model, we demonstrate that in the case of a capital deepening externality in the health sector has relatively...

This paper develops a two-sector endogenous growth model with health capital and examines the impact tax financed health expenditure has on long-run growth. In this model, health capital is accumulated through government spending as a flow channel and a capital deepening externality as a stock...

This paper investigates the effects of wealth-enhanced social status using an optimizing monetary growth model with non-separable utility function between consumption and wealth. Within this framework, we first arrive a conclusion that, in the case of no wealth effects, an increase in the rate...

This paper constructs a three-sector growth model with non-renewable environmental resource and a resource augmenting technological progress, and investigates the relation between the sustainability of resource use and growth of the nations. When the resource augmenting technological progress...

This paper develops a two-sector endogenous growth model with health capital and examines the impact tax financed health expenditure has on long-run growth. In this model, health capital is accumulated through government spending as a flow channel and a capital deepening externality as a stock...

This paper investigates the effects of wealth-enhanced social status using an optimizing monetary growth model with non-separable utility function between consumption and wealth. Within this framework, we first arrive a conclusion that, in the case of no wealth effects, an increase in the rate...

The paper investigates the local dynamics of a simple growth model with a public health factor. A notable feature of the model is that it employs a non-separable utility function between consumption and the level of public health infrastructure (publicly provided health environment). In addition...

This paper develops a two-sector endogenous growth model with health capital and examines the impact tax financed health expenditure has on long-run growth. In this model, health capital is accumulated through government spending as a flow channel and a capital deepening externality as a stock...
