Taxation and rotation age under stochastic forest stand value
Alvarez, Luis H. R.; Koskela, Erkki - 2004
The paper uses both the single rotation and ongoing rotation framework to study the impact of yield tax, lump-sum tax, cash flow tax and tax on interest rate earnings on the privately optimal rotation period when forest value growth is stochastic and forest owners are either risk neutral or risk...

Optimal Social Insurance and Health Inequality
Grossmann, Volker; Strulik, Holger - 2015
This paper integrates into public economics a biologically founded, stochastic process of individual ageing. The novel approach enables us to investigate the interaction between health and retirement policy in order to quantitatively characterize the optimal joint design of the social insurance...

Equilibrium Search and the Impact of Equal Opportunities for Women
Coles, Melvyn G.; Francesconi, Marco - 2013
This paper develops a new equilibrium model of two-sided search where agents have multiple attributes and general payoff functions. The model can be applied to several substantive issues. Here we use it to provide a novel understanding of the separate effects of equal opportunities for women in...

Should Faustmann forecast climate change?
Gars, Johan; Spiro, Daniel - 2019
Climate change is predicted to substantially alter forest growth. Optimally, forest owners should take these future changes into account when making rotation decisions today. However, the fundamental uncertainty surrounding climate change makes predicting these shifts hard. Hence, this paper...

Capital Income Risk and the Dynamics of the Wealth Distribution
Khieu, Hoang; Wälde, Klaus - 2019
Labour income follows a deterministic growth trend and fluctuates between two values. Interest rates are drawn initially, fluctuate between two values and can differ in their arrival rates. Low interest rates imply a stationary long-run wealth distribution, high interest rates imply exploding...

Nonlinear Business Cycle and Optimal Policy: A VSTAR Perspective
Polito, Vito - 2020
This paper studies optimal macroeconomic policy when nonlinearity in the business cycle is described by a vector smooth transition autoregression (VSTAR). A structural identification of the VSTAR that yields a low-dimension and certainty-equivalent nonlinear quadratic regulator (NLQR) problem is...
