摘要:This paper analyses a RBC model in continuous time featuring deterministic incremental development of technology
and stochastic fundamental inventions arriving according to a Poisson process. Other than in standard RBC models,
shocks are uncorrelated, irregular and rather seldom. In two special cases analytical solutions are presented. In the
general case a delay differential equation (DDE) has to be solved. Standard numerical solution methods fail, because
the steady state is path dependent. A new solution based on a modified method of steps for DDEs provides not only
approximations but also upper and lower bounds for optimal consumption path and steady state.
