Trading Off Generations: Infinitely-Lived Agent Versus OLG
Schneider, Maik T.; Traeger, Christian; Winkler, Ralph - 2010
The prevailing literature discusses intergenerational trade-offs predominantly in infinitely-lived agent models despite the finite lifetime of individuals. We discuss these trade-offs in a continuous time OLG framework and relate the results to the infinitely-lived agent setting. We identify...

The paper studies the short-run, transitional, and long-run output effects of permanent and temporary shocks in public consumption under various financing methods. To this end, a dynamic macroeconomic model for a closed economy is developed, which features a perfectly competitive final goods...

Optimal indexation of government bonds and monetary policy
Hatcher, Michael C. - 2011
Using an overlapping generations model in which the young save for old age using indexed and nominal government bonds, this paper investigates how optimal indexation is influenced by monetary policy. In order to do so, two monetary policies with markedly different long run implications are...

Pollution perception: An inquiry into intergenerational equity
Schumacher, Ingmar; Zou, Benteng - 2005
In this article we extend the recent literature on overlapping generations with a pollution sector by allowing generations to have a certain pollution perception with regards to the stock of pollution. Pollution perception, assumed to be part of the generations' preferences, can be either a...

Trading off generations: Infinitely lived agent versus OLG
Schneider, Maik T.; Traeger, Christian; Winkler, Ralph - 2012
The prevailing literature discusses intergenerational trade-offs in climate change predominantly in terms of the Ramsey equation relying on the infinitely lived agent model. We discuss these trade-offs in a continuous time OLG framework and relate our results to the infinitely lived agent...

In addition to this inefficiency, the government in period 1 may choose an inefficient level of aggregate savings in the … equilibrium. It is shown for a specific example that an increase in aggregate savings would be Pareto-improving. …

Budgetary Policy and Unemployment Dynamics
von Thadden, Leopold; Kaas, Leo - 2001
We consider a dynamic general equilibrium model with collective wage bargaining and investigate how unemployment dynamics are affected by two types of budgetary policies. In line with traditional reasoning, a balanced-budget rule amplifies fluctuations in the short run, whereas an...
