What is an optimal or a sustainable external debt - for a country, region or sector? How should one monitor and evaluate debt to preclude a crisis? We use stochastic optimal control/dynamic programming to derive an optimal debt. The deviation of the actual from the optimal will serve as a...

This paper studies a model of the distribution of income under bounded needs. Utility derived from any given good reaches a bliss point at a finite consumption level of that good. On the other hand, introducing new varieties always increases utility. It is assumed that each variety is owned by a...

The European Union has implemented demand push and technology pull policies to foster innovation on the energy and … rarely treats product and process innovation separately and product quality is, in the best case, exogenous. We develop a … dynamic multi-sector CGE model that distinguishes between R&D-based process innovation for all firms, endogenous product …

In this paper we study the impact of the income distribution on innovation through the demand for quality goods. For … to different consumers. In this equilibrium, a lower relative income of the poor is good for innovation, and a larger … population share of the poor is bad for innovation. …

We use stochastic optimal control-dynamic programming (DP) to derive the optimal foreign debt/net worth, consumption/net worth, current account/net worth, and endogenous growth rate in an open economy. Unlike the literature that uses an Intertemporal Budget Constraint (IBC) or the Maximum...

The recent financial crises, especially the debt crisis in Asia, have led to questions such as: what are their causes, what is an excessive debt and how vulnerable is an economy to external shocks; We develop an economic model of international finance and debt based upon two sources of...
