DURABLE CONSUMPTION AS A STATUS GOOD: A STUDY OF NEOCLASSICAL CASES



5.1. Partial Derivatives of (2.12a, b)

Taking the total derivatives of (2.11) and (2.10b), we obtain the expressions for the partial
derivatives of durable consumption and work e

costate variables:

5.2. Solution for (φ, a, μ, k) in the Variable-Employment Economy

The general stable solution to the differential equation system (2.15) is represented by the
following expressions:

φφ + A1eω1t + A2eω2t                          (A2a)

a — k + B1eω1 + B2eω2t                        (A2b)

μ μ + C1eω1t + C2eω2t                         (A2c)

k k + D1eω11 + D2eω2t                         (A2d)

where Aj, Bj, Cj and Dj,i — 1, 2 are constants (eigenvectors) corresponding to the stable
eigenvalues
ωι and ω2 and φφ, a, k, kj are the long-run solutions calculated from (2.14a)-
(2.14d). Since only two of these constant are independent, the
first step in obtaining the
complete solution is to solve
Aj, Bj, Cj in terms of Dj, i — 1, 2. Using (2.15), (A2a)-(A2d)
and letting
x — (Aj, Bj, Cj, Dj)', these relationships are calculated from following the
