Abstract

We study the link between factor substitutability and the speed of convergence in the Ramsey–Cass–Koopmans model with elastic labor supply and normalized CES production. If the baseline value of capital per unit of effective labor is below its steady-state value, an increase in the elasticity of substitution reduces the convergence speed.
