    Strategic intergenerational bequests with stochastic convex production (1996)
    Springer
    Economic theory 8 (1996), S. 367-376 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-0479
    Keywords: C73 ; D91 ; O40
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Summary This note reconsiders the well-known model of strategic bequest/ altruistic growth, but with stochastic production satisfying a strong convexity condition: The probability that the next stock exceeds any given level is concave in investment. Existence of a Markov-stationary equilibrium consumption schedule, which is continuous and with all slopes in [0,1], is established. Under smooth data and interiority assumptions, this schedule is differentiable, and marginal consumption is in (0,1). This property allows for a rigorous and straightforward treatment of the equilibrium characterization problem.

    Democracy and growth (1996)
    Springer
    Journal of economic growth 1 (1996), S. 1-27 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-7020
    Keywords: growth ; democracy ; freedom ; rule of law ; O40 ; O57
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract Growth and democracy (subjective indexes of political freedom) are analyzed for a panel of about 100 countries from 1960 to 1990. The favorable effects on growth include maintenance of the rule of law, free markets, small government consumption, and high human capital. Once these kinds of variables and the initial level of real per capita GDP are held constant, the overall effect of democracy on growth is weakly negative. There is a suggestion of a nonlinear relationship in which more democracy enhances growth at low levels of political freedom but depresses growth when a moderate level of freedom has already been attained. Improvements in the standard of living—measured by GDP, health status, and education—substantially raise the probability that political freedoms will grow. These results allow for predictions about which countries will become more or less democratic over time.

    A theory of persistent income inequality (1996)
    Springer
    Journal of economic growth 1 (1996), S. 75-93 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-7020
    Keywords: inequality ; neighborhoods ; spillovers ; J24 ; J62 ; O15 ; O40
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract This paper explores the dynamics of income inequality by studying the evolution of human capital investment and neighborhood choice for a population of families. Parents affect the conditional probability distribution of their children's income through the choice of a neighborhood in which to live. Neighborhood location affects children both through local public finance of education as well as through sociological effects. These forces combine to create incentives for wealthier families to segregate themselves into economically homogeneous neighborhoods. Economic stratification combines with strong neighborhoodwide feedback effects to transmit economic status across generations, leading to persistent income inequality.

    Convergence empirics across economies with (some) capital mobility (1996)
    Springer
    Journal of economic growth 1 (1996), S. 95-124 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-7020
    Keywords: convergence club ; distribution dynamics ; polarization ; stochastic kernel ; twin peaks ; C23 ; O40 ; O57
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract This paper uses a model of growth and imperfect capital mobility across multiple economies to characterize the dynamics of (cross-country) income distributions. This allows convenient study of the convergence hypothesis, and reveals, where appropriate, polarization and clumping within subgroups. The data show little cross-country convergence; instead, the important features are persistence, immobility, and polarization, exemplified by “convergence club” or “twin peaks” dynamics.

    Research and development in the growth process (1996)
    Springer
    Journal of economic growth 1 (1996), S. 49-73 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-7020
    Keywords: growth ; innovations ; O30 ; O40
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract This paper introduces into Schumpeterian growth theory an important element of heterogeneity in the structure of innovative activity—namely, the distinction between research and development. We construct a simple model of growth to investigate how the (steady-state) rate of growth affects and is affected by the relative mix between research and development. Although we assume for simplicity that the total supply of innovative activity is given it turns out that, with one important exception, the growth rate responds to most parameter changes in the same way as in previous models where growth was determined by the total amount of innovative activity. In particular, the level of research tends to covary positively with the rate of growth, even in the extreme case where the general knowledge that underlies long-run growth is created only by secondary innovations arising from the development process. The exception concerns the effects of competition on growth. Although simpler Schumpeterian growth models implied that increased competition would reduce growth by reducing the incentive to innovate, introducing the distinction between research and development implies that this effect is likely to be reversed.

    Social conflict and growth (1996)
    Springer
    Journal of economic growth 1 (1996), S. 125-142 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-7020
    Keywords: dynamic games ; growth ; social conflict ; D74 ; O40
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract Despite the predictions of the neoclassical theory of economic growth, we observe that poor countries have invested at lower rates and have not grown faster than rich countries. To explain these empirical regularities we provide a game-theoretic model of conflict between social groups over the distribution of income. Among all possible equilibria, we concentrate on those that are on the constrained Pareto frontier. We study how the level of wealth and the degree of inequality affects growth. We show how lower wealth can lead to lower growth and even to stagnation when the incentives to domestic accumulation are weakened by redistributive considerations.

    Political instability and economic growth (1996)
    Springer
    Journal of economic growth 1 (1996), S. 189-211 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-7020
    Keywords: political instability ; economic growth ; government changes ; coup d'etat ; O40
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract This paper investigates the relationship between political instability and per capita GDP growth in a sample of 113 countries for the period 1950 through 1982. We define political instability as the propensity of a government collapse, and we estimate a model in which such a measure of political instability and economic growth are jointly determined. The main result of this paper is that in countries and time periods with a high propensity of government collapse, growth is significantly lower than otherwise. We also discuss the effects of different types of government changes on growth.

    Growth and the neutrality of money (1996)
    Springer
    Empirical economics 21 (1996), S. 187-202 
    Details
    ISSN: 1435-8921
    Keywords: Growth theory ; endogenous growth ; exogenous growth ; monetary theory ; neutrality of money ; O40 ; C40
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract Using two simple stochastic growth models that nest both exogenous and endogenous growth, this paper shows that money should not be neutral in the long run if it is not neutral in the short run and if growth is endogenous. By contrast, if growth is exogenous, money should be neutral in the long run. The paper also tests whether money is neutral in the long run, finding no contrary evidence. Given that money is not neutral in the short run, this finding indicates that exogenous growth cannot be rejected in favor of endogenous growth.

    Political regime type and variation in economic growth rates (1996)
    Springer
    Constitutional political economy 7 (1996), S. 167-176 
    Details
    ISSN: 1572-9966
    Keywords: N40 ; O40
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract Research about the effects of regime type on economic growth rates did not establish any robust differences in average growth rates between democracies and autocracies. Here, it is suggested that we may have asked the wrong question. There still might be a difference in variances. Democracy implies similar constraints on rulers and thereby might lead to quite similar economic performances. Among autocracies, however, constitutional and institutional constraints are likely to be weak and variable. Moreover, personal inclinations of autocrats might matter much more than personality differences between democratic rulers. Data from the 1960–87 period supply some evidence that there is indeed greater variation in growth rates among autocracies than among democracies.
