Abstract

In this study, we derive, in the standard class of optimal growth models, the least upper bound of discount factors of future utilities for which a cyclical optimal path of period 3 may emerge.1 On the one hand, Nishimura and Yano (1994) and Nishimura et al. (1994) construct examples in which a cyclical optimal path of period 3 emerges for discount factors around 0:36. On the other hand, Sorger (1992a,b, 1994), demonstrates that if such a path emerges in an optimal growth model of the standard class, the model’s discount factor cannot exceed 0:5478.
