Using a discrete-time version of the Ramsey Vintage Capital Model we provide a characterization of the set of initial capital stocks compatible with a predefined scrapping time, given the rate of technical progress and the level of capital productivity. Each profile of initial capital stock in...

Using a discrete version of the Ramsey Vintage Capital Model we provide a characterization of the initial capital stocks compatible with a predefined scrapping time and a level of technical progress which generate feasible capital paths. From that characterization, it is proved that for a given...
