Abstract

En este trabajo se presenta un análisis de las implicaciones que tiene sobre los modelos de crecimiento estándar asumir una hipótesis alternativa al crecimiento exponencial de la población y cómo la forma de modelizar el tiempo puede alterar el comportamiento dinámico de estos modelos. Se estudia también una extensión (en tiempo continuo y en tiempo discreto) del modelo de crecimiento de Mankiw-Romer-Weil al apartarse del supuesto estándar de la tasa de crecimiento de la población constante. Más concretamente, se asume que esta tasa es decreciente en el tiempo y se introduce una ley general de crecimiento de la población que verifica esta característica. Con esta especificación, el modelo puede ser representado por un sistema dinámico de dimensión tres, que admite una única solución para cualquier condición inicial. Se muestra que existe un único equilibrio no trivial que es un atractor global. Además, se caracteriza a la velocidad de convergencia hacia el estado estacionario, mostrando que en este modelo la velocidad es inferior a la del modelo original de Mankiw-Romer-Weil. || This paper presents an analysis of the implications it has on standard growth models assume an alternative hypothesis to the exponential growth of the population and how modeling time can alter the dynamic behavior of these models. An extension (in continuous time and discrete time) of the Mankiw-Romer-Weil growth model is also studied by departing from the standard assumption of the constant population growth rate. More concretely, this rate is assumed to be decreasing over time and a general population growth law verifying this characteristic is introduced. In this setup, the model can be represented by a three dimensional dynamical system which admits a unique solution for any initial condition. It is shown that there is a unique nontrivial equilibrium which is a global attractor. In addition, the speed of convergence to the steady state is characterized, showing that in this framework this velocity is lower than in the original model.
