This paper characterizes the global dynamics of the saving rate in the neoclassical growth model with CES production. The study is based on qualitative phase-diagram analysis. The analytical conditions characterizing the cases that may arise theoretically depending on the parameters' configuration are obtained. It is well known that the saving rate behaves monotonically if technology is Cobb-Douglas. However, when the elasticity of substitution is nonunitary, the saving rate path may exhibit nonmonotonic behavior.

This paper analyzes the dynamics of an endogenous growth model with external habit formation and elastic labor supply. We first derive the conditions for the existence, uniqueness, and saddlepath stability of a feasible steady state with positive long-run growth. The global dynamics of the economy are characterized by phase-diagram analysis. Then we characterize the comparative static effects of shocks in preferences and production parameters analytically. The comparative dynamic effects of the shocks are characterized by phase-diagram analysis.

Our model endogenizes the share of public sector employment in a neoclassical growth model. Under the assumptions that public sector production is labor intensive and the elasticity of substitution between capital and labor is less than one, the public share of employment is shown to decline with a rise in capital per effective worker. Our theory predicts that periods of high productivity growth are associated with a rising trend of the public share of employment. This prediction conforms well with U.S. experience from 1950–1995.

  This paper develops and discusses a neoclassical growth model with two inputs: physical capital stock and combined stock of human and intellectual capital.  The production process is subject to diminishing returns to capital in perfect markets, in sharp contrast to new endogenous growth models that assume increasing returns to capital in imperfect markets.  The model finds that a high saving rate raises both transitional and steady state growth rates of output through increases in physical, human, and intellectual investments that augment labor productivity—a key extension of the Solow (1956)-Swan (1956) growth model.  Additionally, the paper derives an optimal rule for choosing the saving rate that maximizes consumer welfare.  Implications for growth policies are drawn.

In light of robust econometric results on the determinants of labor participation in36 advanced economies reported by Grigoli et al. (2018) and independently by CBO(2018), my paper modifies the Solow (1956) - Swan (1956), or S-S, growth model bymaking endogenous the rate of labor participation (exogenously fixed at a constantfraction of population in the S-S model). By allowing a fully adjusting natural rate, Ifind that the positive growth effects of a higher saving rate hold in the transition to andin the steady state (a generalization of the S-S model).
