In this study we use a long run macroeconomic model for Austria to simulate the effects of aging on employment, output growth, and the solvency of the social security system. By disaggregating the population into six age cohorts and modelling sex specific participation rates for each cohort, we...

In this paper we develop a long run macroeconomic model for Austria to simulate the effects of aging on employment, output growth, and the solvency of the social security system. By disaggregating the population into six age cohorts and modelling sex specific participation rates for each cohort,...

This paper combines the Aiyagari/Huggett–type standard incomplete markets model with the Arrow/Romer approach to growth to analyze feedback effects between growth and inequality, both endogenously determined in equilibrium. We derive conditions on existence/ nonexistence of balanced growth...

Economic complexity measures have been constructed on the basis of bilateral country-product network data. In this study, we submit a Ternary Complexity Index (TCI), which explicitly incorporates technological complexity as a third dimension, measured in terms of patents. TCI is based on...

The increasing inconsistency in the Turkish economy gave rise to transformations necessitated by the manner of its growth and technological changes. Between 1923 and 1962, the Turkish economy was based on agricultural growth strategies, which spurred development in the manufacturing sector and...

In this note I develop two approaches to rule out the overconsumption paths in the Ramsey model with irreversible capital. The ørst focuses on the multiplier of the irreversible constraint and is applied to the situation where preferences are CES and the production function is Cobb-Douglas. The...

On this, the 20th anniversary of the untimely death of Krishna Bharadwaj, I try to reconsider some theoretical aspects of her fundamental contributions to capital theory by showing how applicably relevant they are, in modern contexts. Krishna Bharadwaj had an admirable mastery of Sraffian...

Dans cet article, nous tentons d’évaluer les effets de la corruption sur la croissance, le bien-être et la pauvreté au Sénégal à l’aide d’un modèle d’équilibre général calculable dynamique. Les résultats de nos simulations montrent qu’une fuite de 10% d’investissements...

In a recent published paper, Bethmann analyzed a stylised Robinson Crusoe economy, defining the state-like and control-like variables and then introducing the value-function-like function. He claims in the final section, that even if the model can be solved explicitly, but with complicated...
