Stochastic Growth Models With No Discounting

Abstract

In this note, we consider in discrete time the Ramsey growth model without discounting under stochastic uncertainty modelled by Markov processes. To make the model computationally tractable we shall consider finite state approximations of the original model. Properties of policies maximizing mean value of the global utility of consumers over an infinite time horizon, along with algorithmic procedures finding optimal and suboptimal policies, are reported.
