Asymptotic Stability of a Brock-Mirman Economy with Unbounded Shock

Abstract

New results in the asymptotic theory of Markov processes are applied to analysis of the long-run behaviour exhibited by optimal growth models with unbounded productivity shock. The techniques developed here are geometrically intuitive, and are shown to imply global stability for a popular model specification. In the process, we present a simple new proof of a recent result pertaining to the stability of discrete dynamical systems on metric space.
