Contrary to a popular belief, the most popular Ak growth models display transitional dynamics once the representative agent and complete markets assumptions are overturned. The class of models is identified with diminishing-returns at individual but constant-returns at aggregate due to...

The aim of this paper is to explore the economic circumstances in which the selective credit policy, the least used instrument of four types of instruments on disposal to central banks, should be used and to analyze the possibility to implement such policy in Croatia. The most significant...

The AK growth model is a standard endogenous model. This paper first solves the social planner's problem in this model and shows that the steady state is the only solution to this model. The paper then considers several generalizations of the AK model on the side of technology. Unlike the basic...

This paper offers an alternative way, based on the logistic population growth hypothesis, to yield transitional dynamics in the standard AK model with exogenous savings rate. Within this framework, we show that the dynamics of the capital stock per person and its growth rate can be non-monotonic...
