Abstract

Over the last decade, a large number of papers have established the fact that locally indeterminate equilibria and sunspots fluctuations may arise in infinite-horizon growth models with external effects in production. These contributions also show that there exist significant differences between one-sector and two-sector models. As initially established by Benhabib and Farmer (1994), in one-sector models local indeterminacy requires some increasing returns based on externalities coming from capital and more importantly labor, a strongly elastic labor supply, and a large enough elasticity of intertemporal substitution in consumption which may however remain within plausible intervals.
