Abstract

This paper studies a two-sector endogenous growth model with labour augmenting externalities or Harrod-Neutral technical change. The technologies are general and the preferences are of the CES class. If con- sumers are su±ciently patient, ergodic chaos and geometric sensitivity to initial conditions can emerge if either (1) there is factor intensity reversal; or (2) if the consumption goods producing sector is always capital intensive. The upper bound on the discount rate is determined only by the transver- sality condition. If utility is linear, there can be chaos only if there is factor intensity reversal
