This paper shows that multiple and globally indeterminate long-run growth rates can easily arise in the two-sector growth model introduced by Lucas (1988). This result is generated by the existence of diminishing returns to time at the private level in human capital accumulation and the...

We show that indeterminacy can easily arise in multi-sector models that have constant variable returns to scale and … indeterminacy, and which have been criticized on the basis of recent empirical estimates indicating that returns to scale are …

The news-shock literature interprets empirical news-shock identifications as signals about future productivity. Under this view, changes in productivity cause changes in expectations. I investigate an alternative interpretation whereby changes in expectations cause changes in productivity. I...

I present a theoretical model where the economy endogenously adopts the technological ideas of a slowly evolving technological frontier, and show that the presence of a "technological gap" between unadopted ideas and current productivity can lead to multiple equilibria and therefore the...
