Human Capital Risk in Life Cycle Economies
I study the effect of market incompleteness on the aggregate economy in a model where agents face idiosyncratic, uninsurable human capital investment risk. The environment is a general equilibrium life-cycle model with a version of a Ben-Porath (1967) human capital accumulation technology, modified to incorporate risk. A CARAnormal specification keeps household decisions independent of individu...
متن کاملHuman Capital in Information Economies
Introduction What is new about new media? Its development and use is more influenced by economic factors than the old media. And the new media is more central to the new economy. Indeed, an ever more popular theme in the scientific literature, government policy documents and the popular press, is that technologically advanced economies are in the process of moving beyond industrial capitalism t...
متن کاملOptimal Taxation in Life-Cycle Economies
We use a very standard life-cycle growth model, in which individuals have a labor-leisure choice in each period of their lives, to prove that an optimizing government will almost always find it optimal to tax or subsidize interest income. The intuition for our result is straightforward. In a life-cycle model the individual’s optimal consumption-work plan is almost never constant and an optimizi...
متن کاملIncome Taxation in a Life Cycle Model with Human Capital
I examine the effect of labor income taxation in life-cycle models where work experience builds human capital. In this case, the wage no longer equals the opportunity cost of time – which is, instead, the wage plus returns to work experience. This has a number of interesting consequences. First, the data appear consistent with much larger labor supply elasticities than most prior work suggests....
متن کاملHuman capital investment and portfolio choice over the life-cycle∗
I study a theoretical model of life-cycle portfolio choice for an investor who has an option to invest in human capital but is liquidity constrained. I find that, since the young are more likely to exercise the option than the old, they are more concerned about liquidity risk (i.e. the risk that the liquidity constraint binds when it is optimal to invest). This, in turn, implies a hump-shaped p...
