Summary

This paper describes the relationship between the model's growth rate, the set of vectors of equilibrium growth and the set of internal rates of return of the investment matrix. This matrix specifies the renewable and reproducible scale-neutral investment possibilities. An explicit description of quasioptimal strategies and turnpikes is given.
