A Robust Turnpike Deduced by Economic Maturity

  • Dai, Darong

Abstract

In the paper, a one-sector neoclassical model with stochastic growth has been constructed. The key concept of economic maturity is well-defined in the abstract model economy, and also a thorough characterization of the minimum time needed to economic maturity is supplied for the first time. Moreover, it is confirmed that the capital-labor ratio corresponding to the state of economic maturity indeed provides us with a robust turnpike of the optimal path of capital accumulation.
