This paper presents a complete analysis of a stochastic version of the Solow growth model in which all parameters are ergodic random variables. Applying random dynamical systems theory, we prove that the dynamics and, in particular, the long-run behavior is uniquely determined by a globally...

Public health events (PHEs) have emerged as significant threats to human life and health, as well as affecting economic growth. PHEs such as COVID-19 have led people to reflect on better regular prevention and control (RPC) for PHEs. Firstly, under the background of RPC for PHEs, a neoclassical...

We develop and study a neoclassical growth model with a realistic demographic structure. Our model complements recent developments in the overlapping generations (OLG) literature by highlighting the natural link that exists between different classes of macrodynamic models. Within the model we...

We use the two-sector specific factors model, which is known from the theory of international trade, in a growth context to describe major trends of long-run economic development. The endogenous technical progress functions establish the link between the agricultural and the manufacturing sector...

This paper provides an explanation for the secular increase in the price of services relative to that of manufactured goods that relies on capital accumulation rather than on an exogenous total factor productivity growth differential. The key assumptions of the two-sector, intertemporal...

This paper presents a re-interpretation of a New Keynesian model with capital, where zero long-run output gap restriction is eliminated and a certain type of assumption regarding risk-less nominal interest rate is adopted

Based on a general growth model, this paper finds that the steady-state direction of technological progress is determined by the scale return of the production function and the relative factor supply elasticities. A specific version of that model extends Acemoglu (2002) to provide the underlying...

In 1960 Theodore Schultz expounded a human capital theory of economic growth that includes three elements: 1) Countries without much human capital cannot manage physical capital effectively, 2) Economic growth can only proceed if physical capital and human capital rise together, and 3) Human...

Structural change is a relatively simple (continuous) process having restricted limit-properties. All processes which can be classified as "structural change" inherit these limit-properties. Limit-properties of processes play an important role in neoclassical growth theory. We show that (i) many...

We prove a generalized, multi-factor version of the Uzawa steady-state growth theorem. The theorem implies that neoclassical growth models need at least three factors of production to be consistent with empirical evidence on both the capital-labor elasticity of substitution and the existence of...
