Capital depreciation, indeterminacy and cycles in two-sector economies
We consider a discrete-time two-sector Cobb-Douglas economy with positive sector specific external effects and partial depreciation of capital. We show that local indeterminacy of steady states and cycles can easily arise with constant social returns to scale, and very small market imperfections. However these properties of equilibrium paths become less likely in the case of partial depreciatio...
متن کاملGrowth Models with Social Constant Returns
The existing literature establishes possibilities of local determinacy and dynamic indeterminacy in continuous-time two-sector models of endogenous growth with social constant returns. The necessary and sufficient condition for local determinacy is that the factor intensity rankings of the two sectors are consistent in the private/physical and social/value sense. The necessary and sufficient co...
متن کاملIncreasing returns, capital utilization, and the effects of government spending
We show that a one-sector real business cycle model with mild increasing returns-to-scale, variable capital utilization and saddle-path stability is able to produce qualitatively realistic business cycles driven solely by disturbances to government purchases. Due to an endogenous increase in labor productivity, a positive spending shock can lead to simultaneous increases in output, consumption,...
متن کاملIndeterminacy, Business Cycles, and Modest Increasing Returns to Scale
In this paper a dynamic model of monopolistic competition with entry and exit has been presented and examined. It is shown that the model displays indeterminacy at modest degrees of increasing returns in cases where the market power in the consumption goods market and in the investment goods market diiers. Furthermore, the model is quite successful in replicating major U.S. business cycle facts...
متن کاملEndogenous income taxes and indeterminacy in dynamic models: When does Diamond meet Ramsey again?
This paper introduces scal increasing returns, through endogenous labor income tax rates as in Schmitt-Grohe and Uribe (1997), into the overlapping generations model with endogenous labor, consumption in both periods of life and homothetic preferences (e.g., Lloyd-Braga, Nourry and Venditti, 2007). We show that under numerical calibrations of the parameters, local indeterminacy can occur for d...
