TL;DR: In this paper, the authors address the issue of optimal growth when standard-of-living aspirations are transmitted from one generation to the next and derive the condition for the optimal solution to be stable in the saddle-point sense and show that this optimal solution may display damped oscillations even when the planner does not discount the utility of future generations.
