Determinacy Through Intertemporal Capital Adjustment Costs Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics Herrendorf, Berthold
Valentinyi, Akos
Additional information is available for the following
registered author(s):
It is well known that if there are mild sector-specific externalities, then the steady state of the standard two-sector real business cycle model can become locally indeterminate and endogenous business cycles can arise. We show that this result is not robust to the introduction of standard intertemporal capital adjustment costs, which may accrue when total capital is adjusted or when each sector’s capital is adjusted. We find for both forms of adjustment costs that the steady state is determinate for all empirically plausible parameter values. We also find that determinacy occurs for a much larger range of parameter values when adjusting each sector’s capital is costly.
