It is proven that the differential equation which describes the model at least has a nonzero equilibrium. The differential equation has several equilibria when the technological level or the saving rate is not high enough and undergoes bifurcation at some specified parame-ter values. Therefore,the economy described by the model pre-sents multiple growth paths and "Malthusian Poverty Trap" when the technological level or the saving rate is low.展开更多

It is proven that the differential equation which describes the model at least has a nonzero equilibrium.
