This paper proposes a multi-regional, general equilibrium model with capital accumulation to analyze the economic impact of the spatial distribution of public capital formation. This model is calibrated and solved by using data for the Spanish economy in order to simulate some comparative...

We study how the introduction of consumption externalities affects the optimality of the dynamic equilibrium in an economy displaying dynastic altruism. When the bequest motive is inoperative consumption externalities affect the intertemporal margin between young and old consumption and thus...

We assert that the endowments of production factors cause cross-country differences in GDP by generating disparities in the sectoral composition. We characterize the dynamic equilibrium of a two-sector endogenous growth model with several consumption goods that are subject to minimum consumption...
