We set up a three-period overlapping generation model in which young individuals allocate their time to schooling and work, healthy middle aged individuals allocate their time to leisure and work and their income to consumption and savings for retirement, and old age individuals live off their savings. The three period setup allows us to distinguish between longevity and active life expectancy ...

The results of a simple prototype Ben-Porath model with age-specific survival rates show that an increase in lifetime labor supply is not a necessary, nor a sufficient, condit...
متن کاملIs the Long-Run Labor Supply Vertical?
Growth theory and real-business-cycle theory virtually always assume that the long-run labor supply is vertical. This paper derives the restriction on preferences required for this assumption to hold and formulates an econometric method for testing this restriction. The restriction is then rejected using time-series data for the United States and many OECD countries. Some evidence against the r...
