| We consider an endogenously growing economy with heterogeneous households, each of which prefers capital (or wealth) as well as consumption. Regarding Ramsey's conjecture on the long-run distribution of capital among households, we present some extended versions of the result that was shown by Nakamura (2014, “On Ramsey's Conjecture with AK Technology,” Economics Bulletin, 34(2), pp. 875-884). One of our results is that if aggregate capital productivity is low, the most impatient household could eventually own the entire capital (not “almost all” the capital) of the economy. |
