On Dictatorship, Economic Development and Stability



current income tax rate and the current capital stock. The system of these three equations
is computed by eliminating the Lagrange multipliers from the equations (16)-(18), and
by solving the new system to find the expressions of
kt+1 , τt+1 and qt+1 .

4.1 Steady states

Proposition 3 Any politically stable dictatorship characterized by the dynamic system
(26)-(28) admits a unique steady state.

Proof:

By solving the system (26)-(28) at the steady state, we obtain the following unique solu-
tion:

(1 + ρ )[ β (1 — α ) l ]2 + αβ (1 — α ) l
α
(1 + β )

l (β(1 + ρ)(1 — α)l + α)1-α

Hence, the dictator’s steady state consumption is:

g = [β(1 — α)l + ]2(1 -α) α + [β(1 — α)lJ ) \ 1 + β ~ A2â

If the insurrection constraint is not binding, then the steady state solution is the same as
in proposition 1.

Proposition 3 gives the steady state of dictatorship that is politically stable. The insurrec-
tion constraint makes the rate of predation,
q , one of the variables determining the steady
