The issue about the endogenous growth at developed country less is not so common in the new literature of economic growth, the majority of the theoretical effort has concentrated in the analysis about developed countries. At this article, inspired by Romer (1990), Romer and Rivera-Batiz (1991) and Tirado (1995), is exposed a model about endogenous growth for a developed country less where the force that impels the economic growth is the technological imitation of designs innovating capital goods. The model shows to analytical evidence where the growth rate in a developed country less maintains increasing relation with the technological gap and the stock of human capital total in the economy, and a decreasing relation with the discount rate.

Keywords : technological innovation; technological imitation; economic growth; capital human and technological gap.
