Dynamic models of structural transformation are often non-stationary, precluding balanced growth path (BGP) analysis. We develop a generalization of the BGP concept that we call a Stable Transformation Path (STraP). The STraP characterizes the medium-term dynamics of the economy in a turnpike...

Standard dynamic models of structural transformation, without knife-edge and counterfactual parameter values, preclude balanced growth path (BGP) analysis. This paper develops a dynamic equilibrium concept for a more general class of models | an alternative to a BGP, which we coin a Stable...

The existence of a unique optimum, a unique optimal stationary program, and a turnpike theorem are demonstrated for a neoclassical one sector optimal growth model. The planner's allocation problem is formulated as a discrete time deterministic, infinite horizon programming model. The production...

In this paper, we study the structure of trajectories of discrete disperse dynamical systems with a Lyapunov function which are generated by set-valued mappings. We establish a weak version of the turnpike property which holds for all trajectories of such dynamical systems which are of a...

Dynamic optimization offers a great potential for maximizing performance of continuous processes from startup to shutdown by obtaining optimal trajectories for the control variables. However, numerical procedures for dynamic optimization can become prohibitively costly upon a sufficiently fine...

We consider a class of infinite-horizon dynamic Markov economic models in which the parameters of utility function, production function, and transition equations change over time. In such models, the optimal value and decision functions are time-inhomogeneous: they depend not only on state but...

We consider a class of infinite‐horizon dynamic Markov economic models in which the parameters of utility function, production function, and transition equations change over time. In such models, the optimal value and decision functions are time‐inhomogeneous: they depend not only on state...

A reorientation toward emphasis on consumption has become a major issue in China, raising the question of the relation between economic growth and the composition of output. The issue is addressed here, using insights from economic growth theories. These theories indicate that concentration on...

Portfolio turnpikes state that, as the investment horizon increases, optimal portfolios for generic utilities converge to those of isoelastic utilities. This paper proves three kinds of turnpikes. In a general semimartingale setting, the abstract turnpike states that optimal final payo ffs and...

The dynamics of a welfare maximizing heterogeneous agent, one sector optimal Ramsey model is analyzed assuming two agents, each with a distinct discount factor and log utility. Production is Cobb-Douglas. Explicit time-varying policy functions are derived, one for each period. A Twisted Turnpike...

This paper introduces two axioms that capture the idea of sustainable development, and characterizes the welfare criterion that they imply. The axioms require that neither the present nor the fixture should play a dictatorial role in society"s choices over time. Theorems I and 2 show there...

Stationary and ergodic probability distribution is derived and the stochastic balanced path of capital accumulation is defined via corresponding martingale path. Moreover, stochastic version of asymptotic turnpike theorem is established in the sense of uniform topology and also neighborhood type...

In the current study, we investigate efficient capital accumulation in a stochastic neoclassical aggregate growth model. The underlying uncertainty is driven by Brownian-motion shocks and the major results do not rely on the specification of production functions. The stochastic balanced path of...

Catch-up is very much like taking interstate turnpikes to travel from a destitute backward state to an advanced state of material affluence in the shortest time. This paper presents an overview of the catch-up process in Korea, analyzing the process of taking a turnpike. It delineates the...
