Abstract

This paper extends the Lucas-Prescott island economy to allow for finite lived agents and sector specific human capital. Unlike the Lucas-Prescott model in which workers who leave declining sectors find employment in expanding sectors, this models predicts that workers who leave declining sectors may simply become non-employed, whereas increased employment in expanding sectors is accomplished by increasing the rate at which new entrants enter the sector.
