2 Optimal Balanced Growth Therefore we have capital per unit of effective labor in the balanced growth path: k = ( α δ 1 + (1 + θ)(1 + η) σ ( ) 1 α 1 α δ + θ + σ(n + g) ) 1 1 α This generalizes the solution we had for the optimal allocation without growth. As in the Solow model, along a balanced growth path all level variables are growing at rate η n + g. Unlike the Solow model, the steady state depends on the household preferences, as the savings rates are determined optimally.
3 Qualitative Dynamics We can analyze the qualitative dynamics just as we did without productivity growth. The key equations of the model are now: U ( c t ) = β(1 + η) 1 σ U ( c t+1 )[f ( k t+1 ) + 1 δ] (1 + η) k t+1 = (1 δ) k t + f ( k t ) c t The dynamics work in much the same way, only now they depend on η. So we can analyze the effects of a change in n or g which lead to a change in η. In steady state, c t+1 = 0, and f ( k ) δ + θ + ση Also in steady state k t+1 = 0, so: c = f ( k) (δ + η) k

6 Endogenous Growth Models Now briefly discuss some models which try to explain sources of growth endogenous growth models. An active research topic initiated in late 1980s. Romer (1986, 1990), Lucas (1988) most influential: models of R & D, human capital. More recently Acemoglu et al: role of institutions in growth.
7 What s in TFP? Institutions & Geography Aside from innovations (which we ll turn to next), infrastructure, institutions, and geography are also important. Interesting comparison: experiences of former colonies. Acemoglu, Johnson and Robinson (2001). Small initial differences in income. Differences in settlers mortality influenced whether colony was run for extraction or whether colonists developed institutions. Those colonies where institutions took hold developed faster. Large differences in outcomes still today!

9 What s in TFP? Ideas and Human Capital Relatively new branch of economic theory: endogenous growth theory seeks to explain how technical change happens. Simple endogenous growth model (AK model): aggregate production function Y = AK. (Ignore labor and population growth, could think of this as per capita production.) Not subject to diminishing returns: MPK is constant F K = Y K = A. Idea: Aggregate capital K captures not just increases in physical capital but changes in the makeup of that capital.
10 Human Capital as a Source of Growth Human capital: knowledge, skills, and training of individuals. As economies become richer they invest in human capital in the same proportion, offsetting the diminishing marginal product of physical capital alone. Explicitly: production depends on human capital H, physical capital K: Y = zh θ K 1 θ Say H = hk, so that human capital is constant fraction of physical, then letting A = zh θ : [ Y = z(hk) θ K 1 θ = zh θ] K = AK
11 Other Interpretations Research and development programs are part of capital investment. They increase the stock of knowledge, which offsets diminishing marginal products of capital accumulation. Learning by doing: as economies produce more they learn better how to produce.
12 Implications of the Endogenous Growth Model Again savings constant fraction s of output. So: K = sak δk Since Y = AK, Ẏ Y = K K = sa δ Growth of output depends on the saving rate, even in the long run. No steady state. Higher savings more human capital, R&D, learning by doing. So higher savings leads to productivity improvements and higher growth. Important implication, some evidence that measured TFP does depend on savings, human capital.
13 A More Explicit Model of Human Capital Cobb-Douglas aggregate production function: Y = K α H β (AN ) 1 α β Again we have constant returns to scale now in (K, H, N ). Human capital and labor enter with different coefficients. Society accumulates human capital according to: Ḣ = s h Y δh Capital accumulation equation: Technological progress: K = s k Y δk Ȧ A = g > 0. Labor force grows at constant rate: Ṅ N = n > 0.
14 Analyzing the Model Dividing the production function by AN : ỹ = k α hβ Decreasing returns to scale in per efficiency units. The evolution of inputs is determined by: k = s k kα hβ (n + g + δ) k h = s h kα hβ (n + g + δ) h System of two differential equations determining k, h.
15 Balanced Growth Path To find the BGP equate both equations to zero: From first equation: s k k α h β (n + g + δ) k = 0 s h k α h β (n + g + δ) h = 0 ( (n + g + δ) h = s k Plugging it in the second equation k 1 α ) 1 β ( (n + g + δ) n + g + δ s h k α s k 1 α (n + g + δ) k s k ( ) 1 s h n + g + δ s k = k 1 α β k s k k 1 α ) 1 β = 0
16 Finding the Balanced Growth Path 1 α 1 k β s h s k k = = ( n + g + δ 1 α β k β s k = s k s h k 1 α ) 1 β ( (n + g + δ s k ) 1 β ( k = ( h = s 1 β k s β h n+g+δ s α k s1 α h n+g+δ ) 1 1 α β ) 1 1 α β
17 The Balanced Growth Path Using the production function: ỹ = Y AN = k α hβ = ( s 1 β k s β ) α ( 1 α β h sk αs1 α h n + g + δ n + g + δ ) β 1 α β y = Y ( s 1 β N = k s β ) α ( 1 α β h s α ) β k s1 α 1 α β h A n + g + δ n + g + δ Given some initial value of technology A 0 we have: y = ( s 1 β k s β ) α ( 1 α β h s α ) β k s1 α 1 α β h A 0 e gt n + g + δ n + g + δ
18 Evaluating the Model Taking logs: log y = log A 0 + gt α + β log (n + g + δ) + 1 α β α + 1 α β log s β k + 1 α β log s h What if we have a lot of countries i = 1,..., n? We can assume that log A 0 = a + ε i Also assume that g and δ are constant across countries.

22 New Topic: Consumption and Savings Now start to analyze decentralized model, building toward dynamic general equilibrium. Start with household consumption-savings decisions. Previously in class analyzed labor-leisure decisions. Later put them together. Start today with two period model, extend later to infinite horizon.
23 A Two-Period Model of Consumption and Savings Household preferences: U (c, c ) = u(c) + βu(c ) (Labor) income y > 0 in the first period of life and y 0 in the second period of life. Initial wealth A 0, say received from parents. Household can save part of income or initial wealth in the first period, or it can borrow against future income y. Interest rate on both savings and on loans is equal to r. Let s denote saving. Budget constraint in first period: c + s = y + A Budget constraint in second period: c = y + (1 + r)s
24 Budget Constraint II Summing both budget constraints c + c 1 + r = y + y 1 + r + A ypv We have normalized the price of the consumption good in the first period to 1. Price of the consumption good in 1 period 2 is 1+r, which is also the relative price of consumption in period 2, relative to consumption in period 1. Gross interest rate 1 + r is the relative price of consumption goods today to consumption goods tomorrow. Called the present value budget constraint (PVBC).
25 Figure 8.1 Consumer s Lifetime Budget Constraint Copyright 2008 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 8-10
26 Aside on Present Values Idea of PV extends more generally to any stream of payments or costs over time. Example: widely used in consulting to value a firm s assets and liabilities. General principle: income (or cost) in future is worth less than income today. General formula: for future income values {y 1, y 2, y 3, y 4,...} PV = T t=1 y t (1 + r) t. Distinction with discounting utility: β reflects subjective preference, here 1/(1 + r) objective time value of money. (In equilibrium the two are linked.)
27 Present Value Examples Ex 1: Valuing a treasury bill/zero coupon bond. If I buy a treasury bill today, I get $100 in six months. PV = 100/(1 + r), where r is the six-month interest rate. Note interest rates and bond prices are inversely related. Ex 2: Suppose invest $5000 in a company today, it takes 3 years to become profitable, and thereafter gives $2000 in profit for 3 years. If the interest rate is 4% is this a good investment? PV = (1.04) (1.04) (1.04) 5 = $ What if r = 6%? Can show PV = Shows the importance of the interest rate for PV.
28 Another example: Lottery winners always take the immediate payment over the annuity, even though the total value is less. In recent PowerBall jackpot of $295 million, the 4 winners had option of $2.95 million a year for the next 25 years (4 25 $2.95 = $295 million, or $73.75 million each), or an immediate $41 million. All chose immediate payoff. Why? The present value is higher if interest rate is greater than 5.7% (Try it.)
29 Back to Household Problem max c,c u(c) + βu(c ) s.t. c + c 1 + r = ypv Form Lagrangian with multiplier λ > 0. ) L = u(c) + βu(c ) + λ (y PV c c 1 + r FOC: u (c) = λ βu (c ) = λ 1 + r Combine them to get Euler Equation: u (c) = β (1 + r) u (c )
30 Figure 8.3 A Consumer Who Is a Lender Copyright 2008 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 8-14
31 A Parametric Example If u(c) = log c, Euler Equation: Note that So that: c = c = 1 c = β (1 + r) 1 c c = β (1 + r) c c = y PV c 1 + r = ypv βc β ypv β (1 + r) 1 + β ypv s = y + A c = β 1 (y + A) 1 + β 1 + β ( y 1 + r )
32 Comparative Statics: Income Changes What happens if y, y or A increases? All matters is y PV. Both c and c increase (normal goods). If y or A increase, s increases to finance higher c. Examples: increases in stock market or house prices wealth effect If y increases, s falls to finance higher current c. Examples: Announced layoffs, changing professions (or college majors). Sometimes discuss marginal propensity to consume (MPC). For example, MPC out of current income or wealth: c A = c y = β > 0

36 Comparative Statics: Changes in Interest Rate Income effect: if a saver s > 0, then higher interest rate increases income for given amount of saving. Increases consumption in first and second period. If borrower s < 0, then income effect negative. Substitution effect: gross interest rate 1 + r is relative price of consumption in period 1 to consumption in period 2. Current c becomes more expensive relative to c. This increases c and reduces c. Hence: for a saver an increase in r increases c and may increase or decrease c. For a borrower an increase in r reduces c and may increase or decrease c.
