Abstract

In this paper, we study the stability of two types of Invariant Capital Stocks which are shown to exist in a two-dimensional planning model. It is shown that, for each type of Invariant Capital Stock, there is a critical discount factor such that when the discount factor falls below it, the corresponding Invariant Capital Stock will become unstable.
