Longer Life , Higher Welfare ?
Whereas life expectancy continues to increase in most industrialized countries many developing and transition countries are today confronted with decreases in life expectancy. Usual measures employed to compare welfare over time and space fail to deal with such demographic change and may lead to the so-called ‘repugnant’ conclusion that lower life expectancy involves higher welfare per capita. ...
متن کاملProperty rights and efficiency in OLG models with endogenous fertility
Is there an economic rationale for pronatalist policies? We propose and analyze a particular market failure that leads to inefficiently low fertility in equilibrium. The friction is caused by the lack of ownership of children: if parents have no claim on their children’s income, the private benefit from producing a child can be smaller than the social benefit. We analyze an overlapping-generati...
متن کاملOptimal Patent Breadth for OLG Economy
Existing literature on optimal patent policy and growth has been focused on the infinite horizon economy models. The lack of analogous analysis for an economy of finitelyliving consumers motivates the present study. We develop a simple quality ladder model of an overlapping-generations economy in the spirit of the canonical model by Grossman and Helpman (1991). Then we analyze the effect of cha...
متن کاملFiscal policy effects in a heterogeneous-agent OLG economy with an aging population ¬リニ
This paper incorporates the aging population projected by the U.S. Social Security Administration to a heterogeneous-agent OLG model with idiosyncratic wage shocks and analyzes its effects on individual households, the government budget, and the overall economy. The fiscal gap caused by the demographic change is 2.94% of GDP under the intermediate projection. The effect of the aging population ...
متن کاملHigher IQ in childhood is linked to a longer life
The association between intelligence level (IQ) measured during childhood or adolescence and longevity has been observed in many studies. It is clear that, on average, individuals with higher IQs have tended to live a little longer than those with lower IQs. A limitation in the evidence base so far, however, has been an over-reliance on studies of male conscripts followed up only to middle adul...
