This paper develops a tractable model for the simultaneous investigation of the exit of firms and economic growth. Using this model, it shows that the existence of exit of firms weakens the positive effects of an intensified product market competition on the growth rate. A more intense product...

This paper combines three prototype endogenous growth models, the models with human capital accumulation introduced by Uzawa [1965] and Lucas [1988], variety expansion by Romer [1990], and quality improvements by Aghion and Howitt [1992], in order to investigate how these three engines of growth...

This paper explores relationships among economic growth, unemployment, and business cycles by constructing a model, which views the process of creative destruction as a major source of business cycles, as well as of economic growth. The main results are as follows: first, the long-run growth...

This paper presents an endogenous growth model, in which entry, exit, and growth are endogenously determined through the rational behavior of agents, to investigate the effects of growth-enhancing policies on the exit rate of firms, and on the unemployment rate as well. Unlike standard...

This paper introduces consumption externalities into an endogenous growth model of common capital accumulation and characterizes balanced growth equilibria. Contrary to the standard argument in previous studies, we show that the growth rate in a feedback Nash equilibrium can be higher than that...

In this study, we discuss a connection between heterogeneity of agents and indeterminacy of equilibria in a standard money-in-the-utility function model. Contrary to ealier studies, which mainly concern indeterminacy in connection with monetary policy or preferences of a single agent, we...
