The Concept of Income in a General Equilibrium 1

چکیده
This paper derives a concept of aggregate real income for a competitive economy in general equilibrium consisting of heterogeneous infinitely-lived people and relates it to current and future consumption possibilities. An important characteristic of our measure of income, which we call Real Income, is that deflation is carried out using a consumption deflator rather than any price index of output. We suggest it may be inappropriate to regard capital gains as income. We also present a coherent treatment of the effects of changes to the terms of trade on real income and explain the implications of this for resource-exporting economies.

The Criteria of Economic Justice
Criteria, criteria and general areas make it easy to measure the concept through the index. The criterion of measurement may be derived from the causal or causal method. In this descriptive-analytical method through conceptual explanation, in this paper, four concepts of economic justice are first considered independently and attempted to present a standard a priori method for each concept in i...

In this study, using the overlapping generation (OLG (model and the Stochastic Dynamic General Equilibrium (DSGE) approach, the optimal form of labor income tax rate and capital income tax functions is extracted for the economy of Iran using annual time series data during 1357 to 1397. The results of comparing the calibration and simulation of the designed model show that the optimal functions ...
متن کاملHölder continuity of solution maps to a parametric weak vector equilibrium problem
In this paper, by using a new concept of strong convexity, we obtain sufficient conditions for Holder continuity of the solution mapping for a parametric weak vector equilibrium problem in the case where the solution mapping is a general set-valued one. Without strong monotonicity assumptions, the Holder continuity for solution maps to parametric weak vector optimization problems is discussed.
