Basic Stochastic Dynamic Systems of Growth and Trade
摘要
Uncertainties are intrinsic features of dynamic economic systems, and this chapter considers the dynamic implications of factor endowment (labor, capital) uncertainties for a small growing trading economy. Our stochastic growth models extend the open neoclassical two-sector growth model to a stochastic environment in continuous time and extend the diffusion dynamics of one-sector growth models to a trading two-sector economy. We demonstrate that the basic propositions of deterministic steady-state growth and endogenous growth theory, under some specifications and certain parametric restrictions, are preserved within a stochastic framework.
