摘要

This chapter extend the classical growth models of Chap. 8 to aggregate (macro) models, replacing in the governing functions the former wage- and capital incomes by national income and with now using national factor accumulation parameters. The examinations of the solutions to the aggregate growth model are performed for both the decreasing return to scale (trap model) and constant return to scale (long-run balanced growth). The results of Chap. 8 carry over to the aggregate version. The chapter ends with a Synopsis of the classical growth models.
