Davila, Julio; Leroux, Marie-Louise - HAL - 2009

In an overlapping generations economy setup we show that, if individuals can improve their life expectancy by exerting some effort, costly in terms of either resources or utility, the competitive equilibrium steady state differs from the first best steady state. This is due to the fact that...

Compensating the dead? Yes we can!

Fleurbaey, Marc; Leroux, Marie-Louise; Ponthière, Grégory - HAL - 2010

Croix, David De La; Pestieau, Pierre; Ponthière, Grégory - HAL - 2009

Introduced by Samuelson (1975), the Serendipity Theorem states that the competitive economy will converge towards the optimum steady-state provided the optimum population growth rate is imposed. This paper aims at exploring whether the Serendipity Theorem still holds in an economy with risky...
