The following result can then be stated:


Proposition 2 Provided the following restrictions on the parameters hold:


1 1 + β .
δ <  —   and


ξ

<—< < a < ξ if n > 0
ξ + θ


ξ

a < ξ+θ < ξ if n0


there exists a unique steady state of the model with 0 <T< 1 and 0 <ρ< 1 where
the values of the different variables are given by the expressions (15)-(22).


Proof. The steady-state values of the variables are obtained in Appendix 7.2.

Concerning the restrictions on the parameters, given the expression obtained for T :


T 1 - βδ

1 + β - 2βδ


the fact that 0 < T < 1 implies 0 < 1+β-2βδ < 1, and since the numerator is positive
(because
0 <β< 1 and 0 <δ < 1) we must have (for the first inequality to hold):


1+β

1 + β - 2βδ> 0 δ< +~p


while the second inequality is always verified (being δ<1). Given the expression
obtained for
ρ:


an


P a (ξ + n + θ) - ξ

then, the fact that 0 < ρ < 1 implies 0 < α(ξ+α+θ)-ξ < 1. At this point it is necessary
to distinguish the case
n> 0 and the case n< 0.Ifn> 0 the restriction 0 <ρ< 1
requires:


ξ

a (ξ + n + θ) - ξ> 0 a> -------

ξ+ n + θ


and also:


ξ

an<a (ξ + n + θ) - ξ a> ξ+θ
