Abstract

In our paper, we present in the first place a stochastic model of optimal growth with heterogeneous technology with job qualifications. We are based on the models of Pesaran, Binder and Romer with technological transfer, we find the optimal fraction for the qualification of the employment in order to obtain a more favorable income. Second, we establish the conditions on the coefficient of technological diffusion, for which the country partially upgrading with their technological level.
