Un modelo de crecimiento endógeno e imitación tecnológica

Abstract

The purpose of this model is to analyse the conditions for growth and the path of capital accumulation in a framework of endogenous technical change with exogenous savings. The model states the existence of two kinds of countries, one of them an innovator, the other an imitator, both linked by a world market of technology, and excludes the world market of commodities. In each of these countries there are two sectors: the first one produces final goods, and the second performs Research & Development activities. The paper is based in Romer (1990) and Rivera Bátiz Romer (1991).
