Abstract

A one-sector Neo-Classical growth model of the U.S. economy was estimated by ordinary least squares using annual data. The evolution of growth theory from Harrod's model (1939) through the Solow model (1956) was traced. A Cobb-Douglas production with constant returns to scale and disembodied technical change formed the core of the model. Alternative equilibrium capital-labor ratios were derived using computer simulation for ten different selections of the model's parameters. The "golden age" paths were then simulated for a period of two hundred years.
