Human genealogy reveals a selective advantage to moderate fecundity

Galor, Oded; Klemp, Marc P. B. - 2019

This research presents the first evidence that moderate fecundity had maximized long-run reproductive success in the human population. Using a reconstructed genealogy for nearly half a million individuals in Quebec during the 1608-1800 period, we find that while a high fecundity was associated...

Endogenous longevity and optimal tax progressivity

Heer, Burkhard; Rohrbacher, Stefan - 2020

We study the impact of endogenous longevity on optimal tax progressivity and inequality in an overlapping generations model with skill heterogeneity. Higher tax progressivity decreases both the longevity gap and net income inequality, but at the expense of lower average lifetime and lower...
