Evolution of the Relative Price of Goods and Services in a Neoclassical Model of Capital Accumulation

The key assumptions of the two-sector, intertemporal optimizing m...

The key assumptions of the two-sector, intertemporal optimizing model are relatively high capital intensity in the production of goods and limited cross-border capital mobility, allowing the interest rate to vary. With plausible parameterization, the model also predicts a decline in the employment share of the goods sector over time
