Calibration of normalised CES production functions in dynamic models

Author

  • Klump, Rainer
  • Saam, Marianne
Abstract
Normalising CES production functions allows to choose technology parameters of dynamic models in a plausible way and excludes arbitrary effects of changes in the elasticity of substitution. As an illustration, the speed of convergence in the Ramsey model is considered.
