We propose the relaxation algorithm as a simple and powerful method for simulating the transition process in growth models. This method has a number of important advantages: (1) It can easily deal with a wide range of dynamic systems including multi-dimensional systems with stable eigenvalues...

Growth models often give rise to saddle-point stable dynamic systems with multi-dimensional stable manifolds. It is argued that standard solution procedures used to numerically approximate the transition process are generally inadequate when the (stable) eigenvalues differ substantially in...

In the analysis of endogenous growth models often projections are used which map the balanced growth path into a single point. This is done in order to draw conclusions about the stability of the system or the determinacy of transition paths. This procedure hinges on the homogeneity of the...

The paper analyses aspects of international capital movements and formation of human capital in a three sector two country growth model. We assume that direct foreign investment from a country with a high level of knowledge goes along with a positive external effect on human capital growth in...
