Stylized facts in macroeconomics [closed]
Max $E_0 \sum_{t=1}^{\infty}\beta^t u(C_t , L_t)=E_0 \sum_{t=1}^{\infty}\beta^t[logC_t-B\frac{N_t ^{1+\gamma}}{1+\gamma}]$
$Y_t=A_t K_t^{1-\alpha}(N_t X_t)^\alpha$ where $X_t$ is labor augmenting ...

Solow Model With Land as Factor
Given the production function:
$$Y = K^\alpha (AL)^\beta R^{1-\alpha -\beta}$$.
Where $L, A$ grow at exogenously given rates $n, g$ respectively. $R$ is land and is constant in supply and given that $\...

Balanced growth path with specific technology
Resource constraint: $Y_t =C_t +I_t $
CRS Production function: $Y_t =K_t^{\alpha} (N_t X_t )^{1-\alpha}$
Investment function: $I_t =\frac{1}{q_t}(K_{t+1} -(1-\delta)K_t )$
The labor-augmenting ...

Solow model response function
Consider a Solow model without technological progress so that the steady state $k^*$ occurs at $sf(k^*) = (n+\delta)k^*$ where $n$ is population growth rate, $\delta$ is capital depreciation rate and $...

Proving a result In Jones (1999) "Growth: With or Without Scale Effects"
Jones (1999) builds his semi-endogenous growth model where output is produced with only one input, labour, in the following "research" function:
$$ Y = A^\alpha L_Y $$
Labour is augmented with ...

Why are we using exp(.) as the functional form in the household maximization problem inside the RCK model?
Currently I'm studying the RCK model at my Advanced Macroeconomics I classes.
A question arose almost immediately when I saw the utility function of a household in this model.
The question is: why ...

Why does capital initially reduce and then rise with an anticipated future decrease in taxes in the RCK model?
Consider the version of the RCK model where there is a government that runs a constant balanced budget.
At $t_0$, the economy is in steady state, with constant tax $T_{old} > 0$
Then, at $...

Can saddle path not go through the origin in Ramsey model?
In my case, the utility function is CEIS and discrete, the production fuction is $f(k_{t})=k_{t}^\alpha$, the budget constraint is $f(k_{t})+(1-\delta)k_{t}=c_{t} + k_{t+1}$. I use Jacobian matrix and ...

Comparative Statics on Balanced Growth Path
It would be a silly question. In a model, I have found the BGP (balanced growth path) for all key variables.
As expected, these variables are constant variables ;

Calculating Time to Balanced Growth Path
$\textbf{Model:}$
$$\underset{\{c_t,k_t\}}{max}\;\sum_{t=0}^\infty\beta^t\frac{c_t^{1-\gamma}}{1-\gamma}$$
$$s.t.\;c_t=Rk_{t-1}-k_t$$
$$c_t,k_t\geq0$$
At time $t$, $c_t$ is consumption and $k_{t-1}$ ...
