The stability of cyclical growth within the context of a model in “Growing through cycles” in Econometrica by Matsuyama (1999) is examined. It is shown that but for an extreme situation, the two‐period cycles (two‐cycles) are unique and a range of parameter values that imply the stability of such cyclical growth is derived. The growth enhancing property of two‐cycles are shown to be retained by any cycle; the results of simulation exercises carried out are reported to show that for a very wide range of parameter values, such cyclical growth paths are stable and, therefore, robustness of the conclusions is established.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
