Previous research on optimal R& D subsidies has focussed on the long run. This paper characterizes the optimal time path of R& D subsidization in a semi- endogenous growth model, by exploiting a recently developed numerical method. Starting from the steady state under current R& D subsidization...

This paper extends the class of AK models with an explicit solution to the case where there are two capital goods in the model. this extension holds, even if an external effect in the use of human capital in goods production ia assumed.
