Drawing upon recent contributions in the statistical literature, we present a new result on the convergence of recursive, stochastic algorithms which can be applied to economic models with learning. The formal result provides probability bounds for convergence which can be used to describe the...

We consider an endogenous growth model with international trade in complementary capital goods. The model possesses several distinct, balanced growth solutions, which we classify using stability under adaptive learning. Some of the equilibria can involve growth rates much higher than others. We...
