Partial and full sensitivity relations are obtained for nonauto-nomous optimal control problems with infinite horizon subject to state constraints, assuming the associated value function to be locally Lipschitz in the state. Sufficient structural conditions are given to ensure such a Lipschitz regularity in presence of a positive discount factor, as it is typical of macroeconomics models.

Keywords: Infinite horizon optimal control, state constraints, value function, maximrinciple, sensitivity relations.
