7.1 Second-order conditions at the steady-state in the de-
centralized economy
To check, at the steady state, the second-order conditions of the problem of the firm
that guarantee the presence of a maximum it is possible to observe that we have (at
the steady-state):
∂ 2π
∂n2
∂2π
∂ (Td)2
∂ 2π
∂p2

-α (1 - α) A [(1 - p) hTdL∖ α 1 (1 - p)2 h2L2nα

and in order to have a maximum for the problem of the firm the sequence of the
signs of the north-west principal minors of this matrix must be:
H1 < 0 H2 > 0 H3 < 0
With reference to this aspect we have:
H1 < 0 ⇒ ∣2∏ < 0 ⇒ α (α - 1) A [(1 - p) hTdL∖1-α nα-2- ξ (ξ - 1) (1 - p) p^ nξ-2 < 0
