Ramsey Meets Laibson in the Neoclassical Growth Model
نویسنده
چکیده
The neoclassical growth model is modied to include a variable rate of time preference. With no commitment ability and log utility, the equilibrium features a constant effective rate of time preference and is observationally equivalent to the standard model. The extended framework yields testable linkages between the extent of commitment ability and the rates of saving and growth. The model also has welfare implications, including the optimal design of institutions that facilitate household commitments. Steady-state results are obtained for general concave utility functions, and some properties of the transitional dynamics are characterized for isoelastic utility.

The economic fluctuations and the changing business circles of a country play an important role in the economic performance and fate of any country, which is very important and important when considering the economic situation at a time of boom or recession under accrual conditions.

متن کاملThe Ramsey Model with Logistic Population Growth and Benthamite Felicity Function Revisited
In this paper we extend the study done by Ferrara and Guerrini [12], where two different research lines within the Ramsey model were joined together: the one studying the role of a logistic population growth rate (Accinelli and Brida [2]), and the one analyzing the effects of a Benthamite formulation for the utility function. The results obtained in [12] for the special case of a constant inter...
متن کاملOn Ramsey's conjecture: efficient allocations in the neoclassical growth model with private information
In his seminal paper of 1928, Ramsey conjectured that if agents discounted the future differently, in the long run all agents except the most patient would live at the subsistence level. The validity of this conjecture was investigated in different environments. In particular, it has been confirmed in the neoclassical growth model with dynamically complete markets. This paper studies this conje...
متن کاملAS-AD in the Standard Dynamic Neoclassical Model: Business Cycles and Growth Trends
The paper shows how a dynamic neoclassical AS-AD can be derived and used to describe business cycles and growth trends to undergraduates. Derived within the Ramsey-Cass-Koopmans (RCK) model, the AS-AD is the stationary equilibrium of the deterministic dynamic general equilibrium framework. Allowing Solow exogenous growth, the AS-AD is derived along the balanced growth path equilibrium. The deri...
متن کاملEndogenous capital- and labor-augmenting technical change in the neoclassical growth model
The determinants of the direction of technical change and their implications for economic growth and economic policy are studied in the one-sector neoclassical growth model of Ramsey, Cass, and Koopmans extended to allow for endogenous capitaland labor-augmenting technical change. We develop a novel micro-foundation for the competitive production sector that rests on the idea that the fabricati...
