On the existence and uniqueness of solution to the Lucas-Uzawa model

  • Chilarescu, Constantin

Abstract

In this paper we define the concept of admissible solution and then provide closed-form solutions for all variables of the model along the transitional dynamics path. We present numerical simulations and compare our results with those obtained through the methods developed by Boucekkine and Ruiz-Tamarit and, Barro and Sala-I-Martin.
