IS-LM and the multiplier: A dynamic general equilibrium model
Bénassy, Jean-Pascal - HAL - 2006
We construct in this paper a dynamic general equilibrium model which displays the central features of the IS-LM model, and notably an income multiplier greater than one, so that crowding out does not occur. It appears that the key to this result is the conjunction of two features of our model:...

Kama, Alain Ayong Le; Van, Cuong Le; Schubert, Katheline - HAL - 2008
There are two main approaches for defining social welfare relations for an economy with infinite horizon. The first one is to consider the set of intertemporal utility streams generated by a general set of bounded consumptions and define a preference relation between them. This relation is...

Bourguignon, François; Spadaro, Amadéo - HAL - 2008
This paper inverts the usual logic of applied optimal income taxation. It starts from the observed distribution of income before and after redistribution and corresponding marginal tax rates. Under a set of simplifying assumptions, it is then possible to recover the social welfare function that...

Social Optimum in an OLG Model with Paternalistic Altruism
Davin, Marion; Gente, Karine; Nourry, Carine - HAL - 2011
There is no consensus yet on the correct way to write the social utility function in presence of paternalistic altruism … altruism enters the social utility function; otherwise it does only depend on the capital share as in the standard golden rule …. In a two-sector model, optimal growth depends on preferences and relative capital intensities when paternalistic altruism …
