Macroeconomic models always consider long-term
economic growth as a positive value. However,
there are reasons to believe that it should be zero in
the long run. The paper discusses the ways to introduce zero growth in the model, and what consequences this has tu lead to. This will have a strong
effect on the cost of capital and therefore on the formulation of the transversality condition, debt financing mechanisms and the value of assets.
