A bioeconomic foundation of the Malthusian equilibrium : body size and population size in the long-run

Dalgaard, Carl-Johan; Strulik, Holger - 2007

This paper develops a bioeconomic Malthusian growth model. By integrating recent research on allometric scaling, energy consumption and ontogenetic growth, we provide a model where subsistence consumption is endogenously linked to body size and fertility. The theory admits a unique Malthusian...

A bioeconomic foundation for the nutrition-based efficiency wage model

Dalgaard, Carl-Johan; Strulik, Holger - 2008

Drawing on recent research on allometric scaling and energy consumption, the present paper develops a nutrition-based efficiency wage model from first principles. The biologically micro-founded model allows us to address empirical criticism of the original nutrition-based efficiency wage model....

Life Expectancy, Labor Supply, and Long-Run Growth: Reconciling Theory and Evidence

Strulik, Holger; Werner, Katharina - 2012

A neoclassical growth model is augmented by a corporate sector, financial intermediation, and a set of tax rates. In this setting, capital structure is determined by the interplay between an advantage of debt finance resulting from the tax system and a disadvantage resulting from asymmetric...

Comparing consumption: a curse or a blessing?

Strulik, Holger - 2008

Does it make us unhappier when we compare our current consumption with that of the Joneses or our own past achievements? This paper tries an answer without recurring on interpersonal utility comparisons. It calibrates an economy under three different assumptions, non-comparing utility, and...

Energy distribution, power laws, and economic growth

Dalgaard, Carl-Johan; Strulik, Holger - 2008

The natural sciences have established a general scaling law that relates metabolism and body size of animals. Recently this association - known as Kleiber's law - has received deep theoretical foundation by network theory and has been fruitfully applied to explain various biological phenomena,...

Anticipated tax reforms and temporary tax cuts: a general equilibrium analysis

Strulik, Holger; Trimborn, Timo - 2008

Macroeconomic studies of tax policy in dynamic general equilibrium usually assume that reforms hit the economy unexpectedly and last forever. Here, we explore how previous results change when we allow policy changes to be pre-announced and of finite duration and when these facts are anticipated...

The simplest unified growth theory

Strulik, Holger; Weisdorf, Jacob - 2007

This paper provides a uni?ed growth theory, i.e. a model that explains the very long-run economic and demographic development path of industrialized economies, stretching from the pre-industrial era to present-day and beyond. Making strict use of Malthus’ (1798) so-called preventive check...
