This paper studies macroeconomic consequences of the development of pension funds, assuming they hold a significant share of capital assets. We assume that this concentration introduces imperfect competition, that lowers wages and increases capital return. We show that pension funds tend to...

This note presents a model in which pension funds, by holding a significant share of capital assets, can exert a non competitive behavior on labor market. This leads to lower wages and higher capital returns, and can reduce capital accumulation and long-run welfare.

L'amour lorsqu'il est poussé à son paroxysme confine à l'étouffement. Telle est la morale de cet article dans lequel un parent altruiste module son offre de travail en partie pour assurer le meilleur niveau de vie possible à son enfant. Lorsque le travail des parents et celui des enfants...

This paper studies the equilibrium dynamics of an overlapping generations model with capital, money and cash-in-advance constraints. At each date the economy can experience two different regimes. In the first one the cash-inadvance constraint is binding and money is a dominated asset. In the...

This paper is a study of money in overlapping generations models with cash-in-advance constraints. We first offer a brief review of different features of the cash-in-advance constraint. Then we propose a general formulation and study the neutrality of money. We show that both neutrality and...

An overlapping generations model is examined, where fertility behaviors are endogenous. A PAYG pension scheme introduces an externality on fertility behaviors. The competitive equilibrium dynamics and the steady state are defined. Two instruments, pensions and child benefits, are necessary to...

This paper is a study of money in overlapping generations models with cash-in-advances constraints. The authors first offer a brief review of different features of the cash-in-advance constraint. Then they propose a general formulation and study the neutrality of money. The authors show that...
