Abstract

I show that in a Ramsey growth model, where the production function is of fixed proportions type and the utility function is CRRA, the saddle path is a closed form expression. The closed form expression greatly simplifies the analysis of how the labor productivity growth, the intertemporal rate of substitution, and the discount factor affect investments and growth.
