Abstract: Based on the endogenous growth model, a continuous-time stochastic endogenous growth model with congestible government production and welfare expenditure is proposed. The impact of model parameters on the equilibrium economic growth and welfare is discussed and some optimal policy parameters are obtained. Furthermore, production effect of congestible government expenditure is investigated from two cases whether congestion has production utility or not. Finally, macroeconomic effects of government expenditure and its volatility on economic growth are analysed and demonstrated.

Keywords: stochastic modelling; endogenous growth models; congestion; stochastic fluctuation; economic growth; government production; welfare expenditure.
