Externalities and Dynamics in Models of "Learning or Doing"
分析人力资本积累存在外部性的一般均衡模型动态,发现存在多条平衡增长路径和连续均衡,并给出物质资本正向影响生产率增长的充要条件。
This paper analyzes the dynamics of general equilibrium models with externalities in human capital accumulation which extends that of Uzawa-Lucas. Multiple balanced growth paths, with different growth rates, and a continuum of equilibria (with a unique balanced growth path) may exist. In general, endowment shocks can be followed by higher or lower growth rates. A simple necessary and sufficient condition which depends only on the physical production technology, is established for a positive impact of physical capital on productivity growth. Under the same condition, a sudden removal of capital income taxation lowers welfare.
