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 …

International migration, transfers of norms and home country fertility
Beine, Michel; Docquier, Frédéric; Schiff, Maurice - 2008
This paper examines the relationship between international migration and source country fertility. The impact of international migration on source country fertility may have a number of causes, including a transfer of destination countries' fertility norms and an incentive to acquire more...

Fertility, human capital accumulation, and the pension system
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. It considers as overlapping generations model in which every generation consists of high earners and low earners with the proportion of types being...

Population under a cap on Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Bohn, Henning; Stuart, Charles - 2010
A cap on greenhouse gas emissions makes total emissions a fixed common-property resource. Population increases under a cap are therefore self-limiting: a population increase raises labor and reduces emissions per unit of labor, which lowers incomes and fertility. Because a marginal birth under a...

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...

Optimal child-related transfers and personal income tax with endogenous fertility
Simonovits, András - 2015
To compare the systems of child benefits and of family tax deductions, we create a model with endogenous fertility and basic income, also financed from proportional wage taxes. Pensioners are neglected but younger and older workers are distinguished: the former raise children and receive child...
