R&D AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN A CASH‐IN‐ADVANCE ECONOMY
在熊彼特增长模型中引入现金先行约束,分析货币政策对研发、经济增长和社会福利的影响,发现名义利率上升对研发和增长的作用取决于约束类型,且弗里德曼规则可能非最优。
R&D investment has well‐known liquidity problems, with potentially important consequences. In this study, we analyze the effects of monetary policy on economic growth and social welfare in a Schumpeterian growth model with cash‐in‐advance (CIA) constraints on R&D investment, consumption, and manufacturing. Our main results can be summarized as follows. Under the CIA constraints on R&D and consumption (the CIA constraint on manufacturing), an increase in the nominal interest rate decreases (increases) R&D and economic growth. We also analyze the optimality of Friedman rule and find that Friedman rule can be suboptimal due to a unique feature of the Schumpeterian model.
