We examine the determinants of income mobility and inequality in a Ramsey model with elastic labor supply and … relationship between mobility and inequality is complex. For example, a reduction in the interest rate and an increase in the wage … rate reduce capital income inequality and allow upward mobility of the ability-rich. However, the increase in the labor …

We investigate how income inequality affects social welfare in a model of voluntary contributions to multiple pure … voluntarily supplied public goods; specifically, we show that not only an income inequality-raising redistribution policy but also … allowed, an inequality-raising redistribution policy is no longer effective and leaves social welfare unchanged. …
