We prove a generalized, multi-factor version of the Uzawa steady-state growth theorem. In the two-factor case, the theorem implies that a neoclassical growth model cannot be simultaneously consistent with empirical evidence on both capital-augmenting technical change and the elasticity of...

The paper develops a two-sector model of economic growth, using agriculture and industry. The distinguishing feature in this analysis is that land is an essential input in the agricultural sector, but it is also used in the production process of industrial sector, which is assumed to be...

We construct a 3-factor, directed technical change growth model that ex-hibits capital-augmenting technical change on the balanced growth path (BGP), circumventing the issues usually caused by the 2-factor Uzawa growth theorem. We calibrate the model to the United States and consider a...

There is growing interest in multi-sector models that combine aggregate balanced growth, consistent with the well-known Kaldor facts, with systematic changes in the sectoral allocation of resources, consistent with the Kuznets facts. Although variations in the income elasticity of demand across...

This paper offers a comprehensive study on transitional dynamics within R&D-based models of endogenous growth. There are two main motivations. First, the complete dynamic system for the market solution is derived in general form. Second, using this dynamic system as a unifying framework the...

This paper addresses the criticism that balanced growth models are inconsistent with the dynamics of structural change typical for the process of economic growth. Using a sectoral disaggregated version of a researchdriven growth model, we develop the concept of a generalized balanced growth path...

We present an endogenous growth model with externalities of capital and elastic labour supply where we allow for public debt and public spending that is welfare enhancing. We analyze effects of different debt policies on stability and how these policies affect long-run growth and welfare. The...

Introducing fertility choice into an Ramp;D-based semi-endogenous growth model makes it possible for the economy's long-run growth rate to be again fully endogenously determined. A positive growth rate along the balanced growth path requires a certain knife-edge assumption, though. In the usual...
