Abstract

The paper outlined two systems of differential equations: the Ramsey-Cass-Koopmans(RCK) growth model with exponential growth of labour(population) and Ramsey-Cass-Koopmans model with logistic growth rate of labour. The stability properties of these models are outlined in the neighbourhood of the steady state with a set of benchmark parameters. We compare the performance ability of this models in the case of developed and developing countries.
