Abstract
The aim of this paper is to discuss a mathematical solution procedure to solve a Ramsay-type growth model that explains the fundamentals of consumption and capital accumula-tion in a dynamic equilibrium setting. The problem is formulated as a system of recursive equations and studied through some numerical experiments for the time path of the different variables of the model under some alternative assumption for the steady-state equilibrium of the labour market conditioning the possible singularity of the model.
