An Overlapping Generations Model of Electoral Competition
This paper presents a dynamic model of political competition between two "parties" with different policy preferences. A "party" is explicitly modelled as a sequence of overlapping generations of candidates, all of whom face finite decision horizons. In general, there is a conflict between the interests of the individual policymakers and those of the "party" , which includes subsequent generatio...
متن کاملAn Agenda-Setting Model of Electoral Competition
This paper presents a model of electoral competition focusing on the formation of the public agenda. An incumbent government and a challenger party in opposition compete in elections by choosing the issues that will key out their campaigns. Giving salience to an issue implies proposing an innovative policy proposal alternative to the status-quo. Parties trade off the issues with high salience i...
متن کاملAn overlapping-generations model with search
Search is embeded in an overlapping-generations model. Young people participate a centralized market and a decentralized market sequentially and olds only participates the centralized market. The demographic feature allows analytical tractability. In a series examples, positve inflation rates are Pareto optimal. JEL classification: E31
متن کاملThe dynamics of capital accumulation in an overlapping generations model
This paper studies capital accumulation in a slightly altered, explicit OLG model. The fundamental difference with the standard model lies in the initial conditions. If a portion of the initial allocation of the capital stock is not assigned to retirees, the framework allowing for a genuine accumulation of capital is provided. Dynamic aspects of the resulting model are analyzed, including dynam...
متن کاملWelfare Evaluation of Policies in an Overlapping Generations Growth Model
In the classical growth model, with overlapping generations and continuous time starting at −∞, generically there exist a unique equilibrium in the policy-neighbourhood of any balanced growth equibrium as shown in [4]. Policies are endowment perturbations. In this paper we show that, for any such equilibrium selection, welfare is differentiable, and that the derivative at the balanced growth eq...
