It has been shown that a one-sector real business cycle model with sufficient increasing returns in production may possess an indeterminate steady state that can be exploited to generate business cycles driven by "animal spirits" of agents. This paper shows how an income tax schedule that...

This paper explores the effects of government fiscal policy in an infinite horizon, one-sector growth model with a productive externality and aggregate increasing returns. We show that, depending on the level of a constant tax or subsidy, the model can exhibit various types of endogenous...

This paper examines the quantitative implications of government fiscal policy in a discrete-time one-sector growth model with a productive externality that generates social increasing returns to scale. Starting from a laissez-faire economy that exhibits local indeterminacy, we show that the...
