α: calibrated so average coauthorship-adjusted count equals average raw count
We characterize the location, stability and approach-time of optimal steady states in single-state, infinite-horizon, autonomous models by means of a simple function of the state variable, defined in terms of the model's primitives. The method does not require the solution of the underlying dynamic optimization problem. Its application is illustrated in the context of a generic class of resource management problems.
