Abstract

This paper provides a framework with which to analyse growth in a small economy with perfect capital mobility. It provides a diagrammatic representation of steady states which differs in interesting and important ways from the usual closed-economy Solow-Swan diagram. The paper also analyses model dynamics in response to shocks which perturb the steady state and it is shown that, by contrast to the closed-economy models which underpin much of the cross-section empirical work on income convergence, changes in the saving rate increase both the steady-state level of income and the half-life of income adjustment.
