where we use the notation of the previous section but for the sake of simplicity ˇ S is
now denoted by ˇ S , which is not necessarily the same as ˇ S in the case of discrete
time models. The eigenvalue equation of this matrix has the form

where is an eigenvalue and . u 1 ;:::; u N ; v / is an associated eigenvector. By letting

Here we assume that ¤ a k .1 C r k /, since in both the concave and isoelastic
cases r k > 1,so a k .1 C r k /<0and negative eigenvalues cannot destroy local
asymptotic stability. By summing (4.57) over all k and using (4.56) we get for v the

If v D 0, then from (4.57), u k D 0 for all k, so the eigenvector becomes zero, which
is impossible. Therefore v ¤ 0, and the eigenvalue equation becomes
