摘要:
This paper develops a simple neo-classical model of the business cycle characterised by multiple equilibria produced by the interaction of the investment and production processes. For the usual symmetric information model the source of the multiple equilibria may be found in non-linearities in the production function. Under asymmetric information another possible source of multiple equilibria is non-linearities in the investment-wealth relationship. Persistence is generated by changes in the supply of funds and, hence, in the capital stock. (C) 1999 Academic Press.
