This paper is my ongoing research on welfare analysis using real business cycle approach. In this paper, I have modeled … rates and computes its effects on the welfare of the households. By altering the rate of tax progression, it is possible to … see and compare the effects of various tax structures on the welfare of the economy. My preliminary comparison of …

Using a sticky price-wage model with capital accumulation and adjustment costs, this paper analyses the welfare effects … of non-fundamental asset price and investment fluctuations for the representative household. The welfare effect depends … positive investment and demand effects move the economy in the direction of the efficient output and can therefore be welfare …
