Die Auswirkungen einer staatlichen Verschuldung auf das Wirtschaftswachstum werden im Rahmen eines erweiterten neoklassischen Wachstumsmodells mit AK-Technologie analysiert. Der Staat verfolgt das Ziel einer festen Defizitquote und einer langfristig konstanten Schuldenquote. In diesem Fall gibt...

In this paper we develop a neoclassical growth model that aggregates different types of labor skills from strict complementarity to perfect substitution. After having derived general balanced growth conditions and developed explicit growth paths for capital and aggregate labor force, the model...

We study the situation when a commodity-exporting economy is under sanctions and cannot use its accumulated fx-reserves or attract new fx-debt to smooth import restrictions amid slower decline of income flow from a commodity-export. Our study attempts to determine the adequate response of the...

This article offers a personal view of the main achievements of (broadly) neoclassical growth theory, along with a few of the important gaps that remain. It discusses briefly the pluses and minuses of two major recent lines of research: endogenous growth theory and the drawing of causal...

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...

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...

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...

This paper focuses on how emission tax revenues change relative to GNP, when a fixed environmental standard is implemented by an emission tax and when waste abatement, technical and structural change and capital accumulation is accounted for. One- and two-sector growth models are analyzed...

This paper embeds firm dynamics into the Neoclassical model and provides a simple framework to solve for the transitional dynamics of economies moving towards more selection. As in the Neoclassical model, markets are perfectly competitive, there is only one good and two production factors...
