We show that the minimum level of increasing returns-to-scale needed for in
determinacy in a two-sector real business cycle model with variable capital
utilization and sector-specific externalities is extremely small. Moreover
, this value is lower than that required in several of our model's predeces
sors, and is quite easily within the range of empirical plausibility. (C) 2
