transfers over this period is taken into account. We show that the increase in capital's share of total income and the presence … of capital-entrepreneurial skill complementarity are two key features that help support the wages of ordinary workers as …

This paper investigates the conditions under which partial harmonization for capital taxation is sustained in a … repeated interactions model of tax competition when there are three countries with heterogenous capital endowments. We show … harmonization is sustainable or not crucially depends on the extent to which the capital endowment of the medium-sized country is …

We introduce permanently-shifting income shares into a standard growth model with two types of agents. Capital owners … replicate the observed U.S. time paths of the top quintile income share, capital’s share of income, and key macroeconomic … variables over the period 1970 to 2013. For the baseline simulation, the welfare gain for capital owners is 3.7% of per …

elasticity of substitution between capital and labor. This is inconsistent with the Uzawa Growth Theorem. We extend Uzawa …'s theorem to show that introducing human capital accumulation in the standard way does not resolve the puzzle. However, balanced … growth is possible if education is endogenous and capital is more complementary with schooling than with raw labor. We …

The Inada (1963) conditions constitute a defining property of the neoclassical production function with capital and … that the marginal product of capital vanishes as capital goes to infinity if labor is an essential input. Given the … intuitive appeal of the latter feature, we conclude that the neoclassical growth model is a theory of eventual stagnation …

Agent-Based Model with Capital and Credit (hereafter CC-MABM). The novelty of this model with respect to the previous … framework consists in the introduction of capital goods that firms producing consumption goods (C-firms) purchase from capital … goods producers (K-firms).
