This paper argues that growth theory needs a more general notion of 'regularity' than that of exponential growth. We suggest that paths along which the rate of decline of the growth rate is proportional to the growth rate itself deserve attention. This opens up for considering a richer set of...

This paper sets up a dynamic general equilibrium model to study how the composition of technical progress affects the asymptotic speed of convergence. The following questions are addressed: Will endogenizing a fraction of the productivity increases as coming from learning by investing help to...

Based on a dynamic general equilibrium model we study how the composition of technical progress, along three dimensions, affects transitional dynamics, with an emphasis on the speed of convergence. The three dimensions are, first, the degree to which technical change is embodied, second, the...
