Capital accumulation in a model of growth and creative destruction

    (University of Dresden)

Abstract
Capital accumulation and creative destruction is modeled together with risk-averse households. The novel aspect - risk-averse households - allows to use well-known models not only for analyzing long-run growth as in the literature but also short-run fluctuations. The model remains analytically tractable due to a very convenient property of the householdÕs investment decision in this stochastic continuous-time setup. Classification-E32, O41, O31
