The dynamic behaviour of an endogenous growth model with public capital and pollution
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we present an endogenous growth model with productive public capital and pollution. As to pollution we assume that it is a by-product of aggregate production and that it negatively affects utility of the household but not production possibilities directly. The paper studies the dynamics of the model and demonstrates that there exists either a unique balanced growth path which is a saddle point or there exist two balanced growth paths with one being locally saddle point stable and one being asymptotically stable.

Estimating Optimum Value of Investment and Human Capital in the R&D Sector of Iran Using an Augmented Endogenous Growth Model
This article intends to estimate the optimal value of investment and human capital in R&D sector of Iranian economy using an augmented endogenous growth model. To do so, two issues have been studied. First, an endogenous growth model has been extended to include investment in R&D as an independent variable. In the framework of this model, in order to determine the optimal value of investment an...
متن کاملOptimal Government Spending and Taxation in Three-Sector Endogenous Growth Model-Case Iran
The recent literature on taxation and growth has stressed the optimality of a zero long-run taxation on all accumulative factors of production. For a given path of government spending, the optimal tax plan requires the government to build up a positive stock of public wealth in the short run in the long-run, government spending can be financed with the income accruing from the management of the...
متن کاملMaritime Transportation, Environmental Pollution, and Economic Growth in Iran: Using Dynamic Log Linear Model and Granger Causality Approach
The main purpose of this study is to estimate the maritime transportation elasticities of the environmental pollution and economic growth in Iran within the short-run and long-run to find out the relationships among maritime transportation, environmental pollution and economic growth. The lagged endogenous model (a dynamic log-linear model that we used) is estimated using two distinctive ...
متن کاملFiscal policy in an endogenous growth model with public capital and pollution
In this paper we study growth and welfare effects of fiscal policy in an endogenous growth model with public capital and environmental pollution. As to pollution we assume that it is due to aggregate production. Pollution does not have direct effects as concerns production possibilities but it only reduces utility of the household. The paper then studies growth effects of fiscal policy for the ...
متن کاملComposition of Government Spending, Optimal Fiscal Policy, and Endogenous Growth in the Economy of Iran
This paper investigates the optimal fiscal policy, pertaining to government spending, considering different productivity of public services in production function and its impact on the optimal tax rate, the optimal rate of government spending, and optimal economic growth rate. Using the VECM model for Iranian economy over 48 years, results show while the current expenditure has a positive and s...
