In this paper we show that the neoclassical standard OLG growth model, under low substitution in preferences and technology, may generate three stable steady states. In particular we show the richness of the dynamical roles played by the intertemporal substitution parameter. The novelty of our...

The paper investigates the role of progressive income taxation in the frame of the basic multiplier-accelerator model in continuous time. It is shown that, while proportional taxation is, as common wisdom believes, always stabilizing, in the case of non-linear progressive taxation, an increase...

The paper investigates the effects of declining mortality on fertility and income in the standard OLG neoclassical growth model under the assumptions of accidental bequests as well as fully annuitised savings. It is shown whether and how different countries may expect increasing or decreasing...

This paper extends the growth cycle model à la Goodwin (1967) by introducing the risk-averse behaviour af the agents.
