We show that the subsidy is growth-increasing, and it determines the dynamic behavior of the physical and human capital variables. Moreover, the economy...

In this paper, we build a model that, according to the empirical evidence, gives raise to oscillations in wealth within a dynasty while keeping inter-generational persistence in education attainment. The mechanism that we propose is based on the interaction between effort and wealth suggested by...

We analyze the welfare properties of the competitive equilibrium in a capital accumulation model where individual preferences are subject to both habit formation and consumption spillovers. Using an additive specification for preferences, according to which the argument in the utility function...

We characterize the dynamics of the saving rate in an exogenous growth model where consumers exhibit present-biased preferences. Based on empirical evidence, we assume that consumers are subject to temptation and exhibit a preference for costly self-control. Moreover, we propose the intensity of...
