Abstract

In this paper, we consider a discrete-time optimal control problem related to the model of Robinson, Solow and Srinivasan. We analyze this optimal control problem without concavity assumptions on a non-concave utility function which represents the preferences of the planner and establish the existence of good programs and optimal programs which are Stiglitz production programs.
