ABSTRACT：
This paper addresses two key shortcomings of the Solow-Uzawa growth model: i) its inability to incorporate capital-augmenting technical change under conditions of a non-unitary substitution elasticity, and ii) the resulting indifference of steady state growth to the role of capital in the economy. By demonstrating how Hicks-invention neutrality can be incorporated into the general case, this paper substantially expands the power of the basic neoclassical growth model to yield insights into the specific avenues through which technology and capital translate into rising living standards.
