This paper studies the stability of a stochastic optimal growth economy introduced by Brock and Mirman [Brock,W.A., Mirman, L., 1972. Optimal economic growth and uncertainty: the discounted case. Journal of Economic Theory 4, 479–513] by utilizing stochastic monotonicity in a dynamic system....

This paper develops a new theoretical framework, introducing into the traditional real business cycle model a second sector, which we interpret as representing the underground economy. We find that a model with an underground sector is quite successful in matching the stylized facts of the...
