Abstract

The objective of the paper is to develop a model of optimal endogenous technological progress that will exhibit two properties sought in growth models: (1) The bias will depend on the parameters of the model—particularly those affecting the cost of inputs—instead of being constrained to be Harrod neutral; (2) factor shares will be constant in steady state. Using previously derived sufficient conditions, we show the conditions under which such a model can be constructed.
