This paper investigates the consequences of the currency devalution, both in levels and rates, on the balance of payments in a cash-in-advance economy with finite horizons, endogenous capital accumulation and international capital immobility. In this context, a once and for all currency...

This paper analyzes the effects of a land rent tax on capital formation and foreign investment in a life-cycle small open economy with endogenous labor-leisure choices. The consequences of land taxation critically depend on how the tax proceeds are used by the government. A land tax depresses...

The implications of endogenous labor supply for money superneutrality in OLG economies are analyzed. Inflation increases capital and output, while it affects labor ambiguously in a closed economy. Inflation reduces capital and output, but stimulates wealth in an open economy.

This paper investigates the allocative properties of an OLG specificfactors small open economy facing perfect capital mobility. Wealth formation, economic development and different labor market regimes are at the center-stage of the analysis. In a model with competitive wages and no...

This paper examines the steady-state implications of anticipated inflation within an exogenous monetary growth model with liquidity costs and an endogenous labour supply. Whether or not money is superneutral depends upon the utility function chosen. Monetary growth leaves capital and labour...

This paper studies the optimal inflation rate in a transactions costs model with illegal immigration. Although unauthorized immigrants use domestic money for making transactions and consume in the host country, their welfare does not enter the objective function of the Ramsey planner, because of...

In this paper, the incidence of a tax on pure rent is analyzed in an OLG two-sector small open economy, in which one sector produces a capital good and one sector a consumer good. Contrary to what is obtained by Feldstein (1977) in a one-sector closed economy, a rent tax does not necessarily...

This paper studies the efficient taxation of factor income in infinite-lived models with elastic fertility choices. Two models are considered, one with physical capital only, and one with physical and human capital. In the model with physical capital only, capital income should be subsidized,...
