Article
How will structural change unfold beyond the rise of services? Motivated by the observed dynamics within the service sector we propose a model of structural change in which productivity is endogenous and outpu...
Article
When can exogenous changes in beliefs generate endogenous fluctuations in rational expectation models? We analyze this question in the canonical one-sector and two-sector models of the business cycle with incr...
Article
We develop a unified theory with endogenous technology choice in human/knowledge capital accumulation to obtain a rich array of development paradigms. The transition from a less productive technology to a more...
Article
We investigate how the relaxation of financial constraints affects economic growth in a dynamic game of the tragedy of the commons by introducing an imperfect financial market into Tornell and Velasco’s (J Pol...
Chapter
A two-sector dynamic general equilibrium model with financial constraints and production externalities is studied. Agents face idiosyncratic productivity shocks in each period. Agents who draw high productivit...

This chapter presents a brief overview of the career and main contributions of Professor Jean-Michel Grandmont. It also provides a summarized description of the 16 papers written in his honor by his friends an...
Chapter
We analyze a version of the Benhabib and Farmer (1996) two-sector model with sector-specific externalities in which we consider a class of utility functions inspired from the one considered in Jaimovich and Rebe...
Chapter
We treat a three-dimensional continuous-time model that includes one predetermined variable and two non-predetermined variables. We assume (1) that the model has a two-dimensional well-located invariant manifo...
Article
In the present paper, we consider a two-country, two-good, two-factor general equilibrium model with CIES nonlinear preferences, asymmetric technologies across countries and decreasing returns to scale. It is ...
Article
We examine the properties of a two-country dynamic Heckscher–Ohlin model that allows for preferences to be non-homothetic. We show that the model has a continuum of steady state equilibria under free trade, wi...
Article
The existing literature establishes possibilities of local determinacy and dynamic indeterminacy in continuous-time two-sector models of endogenous growth with social constant returns. The necessary and suffic...

Article
The purpose of this paper is to show that indeterminacy can arise in a simple competitive two-country dynamic model of international trade, free of externalities, imperfect competition, and government interven...

We consider a discrete-time two-sector CES economy with sector specific external effects in which factor substitutability differs across sectors. For this general model, we provide sufficient conditions on the...
Article
We consider a discrete-time two-sector Cobb-Douglas economy with positive sector specific external effects. We show that indeterminacy of steady states and cycles can easily arise with constant or decreasing ...
