The role that investment-specific technological change played in generating postwar U.S. growth is investigated here. The premise is that the introduction of new, more efficient capital goods is an important source of productivity change, and an attempt is made to disentangle its effects from the more traditional Hicksneutral form of technological progress. The balanced growth path for the mode...

Several contributions have already pointed out that initial wealth inequalities do persist in the long run in the Ramsey model with heterogenous agents. We show that this result is not robust to the introduction of endogenous fertility.
