China's green IT development is faced with the unique “IT social risk”. Therefore, the endogenesis of China's green IT development has been challenged. Using the concept of “society greening”, we divide a green IT system into a technology greening sub-system and a society greening sub-system, based on which an endogenous growth model was built. Using an optimal control method to solve the model, we find the long-term equilibrium rate of economic growth, transversality conditions, the relationship between the output flexibilities of the input factors in the two sub-systems, the relationship among the elasticity coefficients of intertemporal substitution in consumption, as well as the optimal conditions for the whole system. The results show that to allow China's green IT to develop, the output elasticity of the society greening sub-system knowledge must be higher than that of the technology greening sub-system. This urgently requires government incentives and other public products to balance the investment efficiency in the two sub-systems.

Purpose There has been an increased interest in the role of the financial sector and institutional quality in the development process. Design/methodology/approach This paper addresses the relationship between corruption and financial sector development by constructing a Schumpeterian endogenous growth model, allowing for the entry of competitive firms with an explicit role for politics and banking. Findings Assuming that technologically advanced firms are located in developed countries and backward firms in developing countries, the model in this study suggests that low corruption are more growth enhancing in the former group of countries. Better institutions stimulate entry by reducing banking screening costs and entry is more growth enhancing in sectors closer to the technological frontier. Research limitations/implications The model in this study is a partial equilibrium analysis and one should include a role for labour markets to address the household’s problem and enrich the model’s conclusions. Secondly, the model specification rests on the fact that the degree of corruption is correlated with the level of institutions. Even though this might be subject to some criticism, this is a common practice across the literature and so, it is clearly a matter of taste. Practical implications The main policy conclusion is that anti-corruption policy initiatives should prioritize corruption that distorts incentives with respect to productive investment that directly and negatively affects growth. Originality/value This paper addresses the relationship between corruption and financial sector development by constructing a Schumpeterian endogenous growth model, allowing for the entry of competitive firms with an explicit role for politics and banking.

В статье рассматривается модель эндогенного роста с человеческим капи-талом на простой пространственной структуре (окружности). Особое вни-мание уделено специальному случаю - комбинации параметров, при кото-рой удаётся получить решение задачи центрального планировщика на окружности в явном виде, что другим авторам не удавалось. In this article the endogenous growth model with human capital on the simple spatial structure (the circle) is considered. We pay main attention to a special case of a combination of parameters for which we were able to solve the central plan-ner problem on the circle in an explicit form, which other authors did not suc-ceed to do.

We devise an endogenous growth model in which agents’ utility depends not only on current consumption but also on the pleasure of anticipated future consumption. We consider the case in which agents derive satisfaction from their own anticipatory feelings—inward-looking or internal anticipation—and the case in which agents derive utility from anticipation of other people’s future consumption—outward-looking or external anticipation. We characterize the effects of introducing a forward-looking consumption reference on the dynamics of the economy. Whereas the inward-looking economy features transitional dynamics, the outward-looking economy does not. The distortions caused by the externality in the economy with external habits can be corrected by subsidizing income at a time-varying rate or by means of a tax on consumption at a decreasing rate. We contrast the equilibrium dynamics of our specification to the more standard specification of the habit formation consumption reference point. Numerical simulations supplement the theoretical analysis.

This paper develops a monetary endogenous growth model with capital and skill heterogeneity to analyze the relationship among inflation, growth, and income inequality. In the model inflation, growth, and inequality are jointly determined. We show that an increase in the long-run money growth rate raises inflation and reduces growth, but its effect on income inequality depends on the relative importance of the two types of heterogeneity. Inequality shrinks with the rise of inflation when capital heterogeneity dominates and enlarges when skill heterogeneity dominates. Therefore, our model supports a negative (positive) inflation–inequality relationship and a positive (negative) growth–inequality relationship when capital (skill) heterogeneity dominates. In any event, inflation and growth are negatively related.
