Introduction to dynamic optimization theory.

From MaRDI portal





The chapter is a comprehensive survey of discrete dynamic optimization models in economics with an emphasis on the turn-pike properties of these models for high discount factors (low time-preference rates). Stating with the reduced form characterization these models, the chapter covers the topics of the characterization of optimality (in terms of both the primal and dual variables), comparative dynamics, and the existence of global asymptotic stability of the stationary optimal stock. The section on comparative dynamics, a topic of more recent interest, presents some very useful recent results on the nature of the value of policy functions. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0980.90001].
