This paper studies optimal forest policies in an overlapping generations forest economy with one-sided altruism, where timber and monetary bequests can be made across generations and forest amenities are a public good. We extend the existing economics literature by demonstrating that timber...

This article studies in an overlapping generations forest economy the conditions under which money and/or timber bequests occur across generations, assuming the usual case of one-sided altruism. We assume nonindustrial landowners have preferences for consumption and for amenities from...

We incorporate a renewable resource into an overlapping generations model without capital and with quasi-linear preferences. Besides being an input for production the resource serves as a store of value. We characterise the dynamics, efficiency and stability of the steady state equilibria. The...

We examine economic growth, inequality and education when the wellspring of growth is the formation of human capital through a combination of the quality of child-rearing and formal schooling. The existence of multiple steady states is established, including a poverty trap, wherein children work...

We analyze the stability and dynamics of an overlapping generations model with imperfectly competitive labour markets. By focusing on the right-to-manage wage bargaining we assume that wage is negotiated after the capital stock decision. With Cobb-Douglas utility and production functions the...

This paper concerns optimal income taxation in a two-country OLG economy, where each country is characterized by asymmetric information between the government and the private sector, and where one of the countries outsources part of its production to the other. In the country whose firms...

We incorporate a renewable resource into an overlapping generations model with standard, well-behaved utility and constant returns production functions. Besides being a factor of production the resource serves as a store of value. We characterize dynamics, efficiency and stability of steady...
