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 …

Population growth and environmental deterioration: An intertemporal perspective
Jöst, Frank; Quaas, Martin; Schiller, Johannes - 2004
Population growth is often viewed as a most oppressive global problem with respect to environmental deterioration. In this paper, we investigate the optimal development of a coupled system comprising population, economy, and the natural environment as subsystems. In our formal dynamic model...

Environmental problems and economic development in an endogenous fertility model
Joest, Frank; Quaas, Martin; Schiller, Johannes - 2006
Population growth is often viewed as a most oppressive global problem with respect to environmental deterioration, but the relationships between population development, economic dynamics and environmental pollution are complex due to various feedback mechanisms. We analyze society’s economic...

Environmental and population externalities
Joest, Frank; Quaas, Martin - 2006
In this paper, we investigate the external effects of the parent's decisions on the number of newly born children and the firm's decisions on the amount of polluting emissions that occur in industrial production. We employ an optimal control model which comprises three stock variables...

Does pro-poulation policy raise per capita consumption?
Hashimoto, Ken-ichi; Ono, Yoshiyasu - 2007
We theoretically analyze the effects of a child allowance, an improvement in the efficiency of child rearing and a labor income tax on the fertility rate and per capita consumption. The effects on per capita consumption are opposite in the absence, and the presence, of unemployment. For example,...

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...

Endogenous Demographic Change, Retirement and Social Security
Cipriani, Giam Pietro; Fioroni, Tamara - 2019
In this paper, we analyse the effects of demographic change on a PAYG pension system, financed with a defined contribution scheme. In particular we examine the relationship between retirement, fertility and pensions in a three-period overlapping generations model. We focus on both the case of...

Birth order and child health
Björkegren, Evelina; Svaleryd, Helena - 2017
Previous research has established that birth order affects outcomes such as educational achievements, IQ and earnings. The mechanisms behind these effects are, however, still largely unknown. In this paper, we examine birth-order effects on health, and whether health at young age could be a...
