| Abstract: | The one-sector Solow-Ramsey model is the most popular model of long-run economic growth. It is argued here that a two-sector approach, in which technological progress in the production of durable goods exceeds that in the rest of the economy, provides a far better picture of the long-run behaviour of the U.S. economy. The study shows how to use the two-sector approach to model the real chain-aggregated variables currently featured in the U.S. National Income and Product Accounts. |
