Survival to Adulthood and the Growth Drag of Pollution

Schaefer, Andreas - 2016

Environmental pollution adversely affects children’s probability to survive to adulthood, reduces thus parental expenditures on child quality and increases the number of births necessary to achieve a desired family size. We argue that this mechanism will be intensified by economic inequality...

Imperfect competition, real estate prices and new stylized facts

Kumar, Ronald Ravinesh; Stauvermann, Peter - In: Journal of Risk and Financial Management 15 (2022) 3, pp. 1-17

In this paper, we develop an overlapping generation model with imperfect competition and land to provide a theoretical …-proportional increase in land prices in developed countries. The model developed for analysis has close similarity with the standard … neoclassical overlapping generation model with endogenous growth and land. The main difference between the standard neoclassical …

Endogenous fertility and intergenerational transfers: The significance of the sibship size effect

Brezis, Elise S.; Dos Santos Ferreira, Rodolphe - 2012

Since the seminal work of Becker, the analysis of endogenous fertility has been based on the trade-off faced by parents between the quantity and the quality of their children. In order to have an interior solution, the model assumes that in case children work, still they get positive income from...

Over-aging: Are present human populations too old?

Stelter, Robert - 2014

This paper investigates the problem of an \optimum population" concerning age structures in a 3-period OLG-model with endogenous fertility and longevity. The first-best solution for a number-dampened total social welfare function, including Millian and Benthamite utilitarianism as two extreme...

Savings, Child Support, Pensions and Endogenous (and Heterogeneous) Fertility

Simonovits, András - 2013

van Groezen, Leers and Meijdam (2003) (for short, GLM) analyzed combination of public pension and child support in an OLG model. We impose credit constraint on workers, and extend GLM's analysis from the case where workers do not understand the cost also to the case where they do. GLM's infinite...

Optimal Child Allowances with Heterogeneous Fertilities

Simonovits, András - 2014

A child-allowance system is to raise fertility beyond the individual optimum. The more heterogeneous the population with respect to rearing costs, however, the stronger are the redistribution and polarization.

Cremer, Helmuth; Gahvari, Firouz; Pestieau, Pierre - 2009

This paper provides a unified treatment of externalities associated with fertility and human capital accumulation as they relate to pension systems.

On the Optimality of PAYG Pension Systems in an Endogenous Fertility Setting

Abío, G.; Mahieu, Geraldine; Patxot, Cio - 2003

In order to help in designing an accurate pension reform, we determine the resource allocation in an endogenous fertility model that generates an endogenous demographic transition by means of distinguishing between female and male labor. We analyze the problem of the optimal solution and...

Endogenous Depopulation And Economic Growth

Bucci, Alberto; Prettner, Klaus - 2025

Fertility rates have declined dramatically across almost all highincome countries over the past decades. This has raised concerns about future economic prospects. Indeed, fully- and semi-endogenous growth models imply that a shrinking workforce would lead to declining income growth and perhaps...
