A Variant of Uzawa's Theorem

Ekkehart Schlicht

Discussion Papers in Economics from University of Munich, Department of Economics

Abstract: Uzawa (1961) has shown that balanced growth requires technological progress to be strictly Harrod neutral (purely labor-augmenting). This paper offers a slightly more general variant of the theorem that does not require assumptions about savings behavior or factor pricing and is much easier to prove.
