Considering a finance constrained economy, we discuss the stabilization role of variable labour and capital income taxes under a balanced-budget rule in the presence of consumption externalities of the keeping up with the Joneses type. We find that sufficiently procyclical labor and/or capital...

In one-sector neoclassical growth models, consumption externalities lead to an inefficient allocation in a steady state and indeterminate equilibrium toward a steady state only if there is a labor-leisure tradeoff. This paper shows that in a two-sector neoclassical growth model, even without a...

We consider a Ramsey model with heterogeneous agents and borrow- ing constraint. Heterogeneity across agents stems from di¤erent initial capital endowment, labor supply, felicity function and discount rate. For simplicity, heterogeneity is reduced to only two groups of agents where they are...

We extend the Barro (1990) model of endogenous growth to a two-sector one which consists of pure consumption and investment goods. It is possible that the extended version has a unique balanced growth rate such that for given initial values of state variables, (i) the extended model economy...
