We explore the relationship between government size and economic growth in an endogenous growth model with human capital and an unproductive capital which facilitates rent-seeking. With exogenous as well as endogenous time discounting, we find a non-monotonic relationship between the size of...

In a recent paper Minea and Villieu (2012) present an endogenous growth model with productive public spending and government debt and assert that their model can generate multiple balanced growth paths. We show that their result is non-generic and point out where the error in their analysis is....

We study the determinants of voting outcomes on the provision of public consumption through marginal income taxes in the context of the simple linear growth model. We focus on how the dynamic politicoeconomic equilibrium maps the economic fundamentals to policies and long-run growth. We find...

This paper explores the theoretical channels by which financial crises might have an impact on long-run growth. By exploiting occasionally binding financial constraints, we produce a model that generates endogenous crisis episodes featuring permanent falls in productivity, without generating...
