We apply these results to the Ramsey model [4]. Its discrete-time version is a hybrid discretizations of a backward-looking budget constraint and a forward-looking Euler equation. Saddle-path stability is a robust property under discretization. %K Discretization %K Growth %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=17348
