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



employment, we calculate an instantaneous consumption function c = c (a, μ, φ) from
(A5a), which possesses the same partial derivatives stated above in (Ala).

The equilibrium dynamics of the fixed employment model then equals:


_4     .

φ = (l + β + δ) φ μ,


(A6a)


a = c (a, μ, φ) δa,


(A6b)


μ = μ[β f '(к)]


(A6c)


к = f (к) c(a,μ, φ~).


(A6d)


Letting φ = à = μ = к = 0, the long-run equilibrium equals


U [(ι + δ)α, s (l)] + u [(l+ ,δra,s (l)] g,(l)
(l + δ)a

(A7a)


f ' (a) = β


(A7b)


f (a) = δa,


(A7c)


where c = δa and μ = (l + β + δ) φ. Linearizing (A6a)-(A6d) about the steady-state
equilibrium described by (A7a)-(A7c), we obtain the following matrix di
fferential equation:
