| Abstract: | The authors show in this article that for every discount factor pE(0,1) one can find infinitely many strictly concave discrete-time optimal growth models in reduced form which have optimal policy functions exhibiting ergodic chaos. These reduced form models are interpreted in a two-sector optimal growth setting with utility functions depending on consumption as well as on capital. Whether or not erratic economic behavior can be explained by models of inifinitelly-lived rational agents has been discussed in the economic literature for some years. |
