This note presents a model in which pension funds, by holding a signifiant share of capital assets, can exert a non competitive behavior on labor market. This leads to lower wages and higher capital returns, and can reduce capital accumulation and Long-run welfare.

This paper studies the equilibrium dynamics of an overlapping generations model with capital, money and cash-in-advance constraints. At each date the economy can experience two different regimes. In the first one the cash-in-advance constraint is binding and money is a dominated asset. In the...

This paper is a study of money in overlapping generations models with cash-in-advance constraints. We first offer a brief review of different features of cash-in-advance constraint. Then we propose a general formulation and study the neutrality of money. We show that both neutrality and...

The authors consider a simple static model with a population divided into workers and retirees. Taxes on wages finance pensions to retirees and other benefits. A minimum net wage constraint can induce unemplyment. They assume that the tax rate fits in order to equilibrate contributions and...

L'objet de cet article est d'approfondir la question de la definition de la solvabilite de l'Etat. A la question, jusqu'où l'Etat peut-il s'endetter ? nous repondons que l'endettement public acceptable, ne conduisant pas à la faillite, est celui qui reste compatible avec un fonctionnement...

In this paper, we study the intertemporal equilibria of an infinite-lived representative agent model with public debt. We show that for a given path of government expenditures, there generally exist a continuum of equilibria depending on various debt policies.

This paper is a study of money in overlapping generations models with cash-in-advance constraints a la Champ and Freeman and Hahn and Solow. We first offer a brief review of different features of the cash-in-advance constraint. Then we propose a general formulation. We show that neutrality of...
