There are two methods in use to determine the contributions of expenditure categories to economic growth. In the conventional 'international method', total imports are deducted from exports, whereas in what is known as the 'Dutch method', final and intermediary imports are allocated to all...

This paper reformulates the neoclassical Solow-Swan model of economic growth in discrete time by introducing a generic population growth law that verifies the following properties: 1) population is strictly increasing and bounded 2) the rate of growth of population is decreasing to zero as time...

In standard economic growth theory it is assumed that labor force follows exponential growth, a not realistic assumption. As described in Maynard Smith (1974), the growth of natural populations is more accurately depicted by a logistic growth law. In this paper we analyze how the Ramsey growth...

In a recent published paper, Bethmann analyzed a stylised Robinson Crusoe economy, defining the state-like and control-like variables and then introducing the value-function-like function. He claims in the final section, that even if the model can be solved explicitly, but with complicated...

The increasing inconsistency in the Turkish economy gave rise to transformations necessitated by the manner of its growth and technological changes. Between 1923 and 1962, the Turkish economy was based on agricultural growth strategies, which spurred development in the manufacturing sector and...

In this paper we develop a long run macroeconomic model for Austria to simulate the effects of aging on employment, output growth, and the solvency of the social security system. By disaggregating the population into six age cohorts and modelling sex specific participation rates for each cohort,...

Das Hauptziel des vorliegenden "Discussions Paper" ist es, den russischsprachigen Leser mit den theoretischen Grundlagen der Produktivitäts- und Effizienzanalyse der landwirtschaftlichen Unternehmen vertraut zu machen. In der russischsprachigen Literatur wurden und werden bis zu heutigem...

Economic complexity measures have been constructed on the basis of bilateral country-product network data. In this study, we submit a Ternary Complexity Index (TCI), which explicitly incorporates technological complexity as a third dimension, measured in terms of patents. TCI is based on...

We introduce a Ramsey growth model with incomplete markets, decentralized production, and idiosyncratic technological risk. The combination of uninsurable shocks with the precautionary motive can slow down capital accumulation or give rise to persistent fluctuations even when agents are very...
