Abstract

We obtain the transitional dynamics of the decentralized economy described by P.M. Romer and characterize the dynamic behavior of the most relevant variables. We determine the existence of a stable one-dimensional manifold containing a steady state with innovation, unique in ratios, and also find a threshold in the accumulation of physical capital below which the economy is not innovating. Finally, using simulations, we assess the significance of this threshold and analyze the influence that technological and utility parameters have on it.
