Ray Rees; Sebastian Scholz: Optimal Fertility Decisions in a Life Cycle Model
This model is the first to solve for the optimal timing of childbirth and number of children in a continuous time framework simultaneously. The model depicts how changes in wage at different stages of an individual’s life influence the timing decision of childbirth and the optimal number of children. When a woman wants to have more children, she decides to have them at a younger age. Medical re...
متن کاملOptimal debt contracts and moral hazard along the business cycle
Weanalyze the Pareto optimal contracts between lenders and borrowers in a model with asymmetric information. The model generalizes the RothschildStiglitz pure adverse selection problem by including moral hazard. Entrepreneurs with unequal “abilities" borrow to finance alternative investment projects which differ in degree of risk and productivity.We determine the endogenous distribution of proj...
متن کاملOn the Optimal Frequency and Timing of Control Points in a Project’s Life Cycle
The dynamic nature of projects and the fact that they are carried out in changing environments, justify the need for their periodic monitoring and control. Collection of information about the performance of projects at control points costs money. The corrective actions that may need to be taken to bring the project in line with the plan also costs money. On the other hand, penalties are usually...
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...
