The paper studies an unbalanced multisectoral growth path in which cost-minimizing producers are subjected to a system of differential interest rates. We ask whether such differentials in capital charges are compatible with the existence of competitive equilibrium. In Part I, we study the...

We study the technological pre-conditions for competitive equilibrium in a multisectoral economy where land is an essential imput. Earlier results by Bidard and Salvadori require either very low interest rates or are unable to predict the type of final demand vectors that can be supported by an...
