A Hicksian multiplier-accelerator model with floor determined by capital stock

This article reconsiders the Hicksian multiplier-accelerator model with the “floor” related to the depreciation on actual capital stock. Through the introduction of the capital variable, a growth trend is created endogenously by the model itself, along with growth rate oscillations around it. The “ceiling” can be dispensed with altogether. As everything is growing in such a model, a variable transformation is introduced to focus relative dynamics of the income growth rate and the actual capital output ratio.
