本文主要目的在探討代表性家戶對社會地位的渴望程度高低是否會影響經濟成長。為了分析此一問題，本文生產架構將沿用 Chuang (2004) Heckscher - Ohlin 兩部門模型，社會地位表示方法則沿用 Chang et al. (2000)。第三章為實質模型，第四章則利用預付現金限制式引入貨幣，且只有第一部門商品需要使用現金購買。
本文發現不論在實質模型或是貨幣模型，當民眾愈渴望社會地位時皆得到資本存量增加、對第一部門商品購買和勞動需求減少的結論。而實質模型與貨幣模型不同的是：在實質模型中，當民眾愈渴望社會地位時對第二部門商品的購買會增加；而在貨幣模型中，民眾對第二部門商品的購買會減少。
另外，在貨幣模型中多討論了通貨膨脹的實質效果，結論為通貨膨脹與資本累積具正向關係，我們得到 Tobin effect 的結果。

The main purpose of this paper is to examine how the social status affects capital accumulation in a two-sector model. This paper adopts Chuang’s (2004) two-sector model of exogenous growth. The way the social status is introduced follows the model in Chang et al. (2000). We discuss the issue in the real model and monetary model separately. 
In the monetary model, money is introduced into the system through cash-in-advance constraint. In both real and monetary models, we find that when people desire higher social status, the capital accumulation is increased, but the goods purchased for the first sector and the demand for labor of the first sector are reduced. 
The different result obtained between the real and monetary models is that when people desire more social status, we find that the purchase for the second-sector’s goods is increased in the real model, while it is reduced in the monetary model. 
Moreover, we examine the real effects of inflation and obtain the Tobin effect in the monetary growth model.
