Incorporating consumption–savings choices under a general concave utility function and hence an endogenous capital supply into a model of capital tax competition, we re-investigate Nash equilibrium and compare it with the optimum under cooperative tax policy. In contrast to the case of fixed...

We analyze the link between the sustainability of bond-financed deficit policy and involuntary unemployment in an overlapping generations model incorporating the fair wage hypothesis. If the fiscal deficit policy is sustainable, reductions in bond-financed deficit increase per worker capital...

Improvements in environmental quality will boost output production and hence economic growth. However, although environmental abatement equally benefits all economies in the world, it is shown that, if the private productive resources are not yet accumulated sufficiently in low income economies,...

We examine the effect of source-based capital taxation on capital accumulation in countries with endogenous fertility and free international capital mobility. When fertility is constant, a tax cut accelerates domestic capital accumulation through international arbitrage and exerts negative...

With a longer life expectancy, individuals who plan to work when they are old may increase the number of their children. Therefore, when individuals choose the time of retirement, the fertility rate may not necessarily decline but even rise.
