Dynamic efficiency

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In economics, dynamic efficiency is achieved when an economy invests less than the return to capital; conversely, dynamic inefficiency exists when an economy invests more than the return to capital.[1] In dynamic efficiency,[2] it is impossible to make one generation better off without making any other generation worse off. It is closely related to the notion of "golden rule of saving". In relation to markets, in industrial economics, a common argument is that business concentrations or monopolies may be able to promote dynamic efficiency.[3]

Abel, Mankiw, Summers, and Zeckhauser (1989)[1] develop a criterion for addressing dynamic efficiency and apply this model to the United States and other OECD countries, suggesting that these countries are indeed dynamically efficient.
