Benhabib and Farmer [3] showed that a single sector growth model in the presence of increasing returns-to-scale may display an indeterminate equilibrium if the demand and supply curves cross with the "wrong slopes". We generalize their result to a model with preferences that are non-separable in...

This paper investigates the trade-off between growth and distribution in open economies. In closed economies redistribution seems to reduce growth. I show that in open economies tax competition leads redistributing (left-wing) governments to mimic 'right-wing' policies if capital mobility is...

In an infinite-horizon, endogenous growth model a capital income cum investment subsidy tax is considered to investigate if distribution of income towards the non-accumulated factor of production (labour) retards growth and if capital income taxes are bad instruments to finance investment...

This paper argues that in a growing economy unemployment can be the cause of goods markets failures, even if these are purely transitory. As the economy grows, new firms wish to enter products are accepted on the market, which we model as a purely transitory demand shock. It may take some time,...

Many theoretical model show that redistribution causes low growth. However, cross-country regressions often suggest that growth is positively related to redistribution. This paper analyzes that puzzle in an open economy framework.

This article shows that endogeneous growth in capital is compatible with a cecreasing rate of interest when investment is entirely financed by the earnings of the young and when there is an externality effect of capital on the productivity of their labour. And despite the presence of this...
