The unequal effect of pandemics on aging and longevity
Fair Pension Policies with Occupation-Specific Ageing
We study the optimal design of a fair public pension system in a multi-period overlapping generations model with occupation-specific morbidity and mortality that depends on the retirement age. The fairness constraint acts as institutional device ensuring that lifetime returns to contributions are equal across occupational groups. We consider group-specific replacement rates and a calculatory interest rate for early contributions as policy instrum…
The economics of aging with infectious and chronic diseases
Wage Effects of High-Skilled Migration
The international migration of high-skilled workers may trigger productivity effects at the macro level such that the wage rate of skilled workers increases in host countries and decrease in source countries. The authors exploit data on international bilateral migration flows and provide evidence consistent with this theoretical hypothesis. They propose various instrumentation strategies to identify the causal effect of skilled migration on log d…
Under which conditions does religion affect educational outcomes
Oligarchic land ownership, entrepreneurship, and economic development
Does international mobility of high-skilled workers aggravate between-country inequality
May increased partisanship lead to convergence of parties’ policy platforms
Workplaces in the Primary Economy and Wage Pressure in the Secondary Labor Market
This paper develops a two-sector general-equilibrium model in which firms in the primary economy have to create workplaces prior to production and product market competition. For this, we introduce the endogenous sunk-cost approach with two-stage decisions of firms from IO in the macro labor literature. By hypothesizing that technological change has lowered marginal costs but has raised nonproduction requirements for providing workplaces, we are …
Is it rational to internalize the personal norm that one should reciprocate
Socially Optimal Redistribution and Growth
In this paper, it is illustrated in a simple balanced growth model with redistributive capital income taxation that it is generally misleading to attribute welfare significance to the preferences of a representative consumer, if lump sum redistribution is unfeasible. This result holds even if a representative agent exists for all endowment distributions, i.e. even if there always exists an endowment distribution such that utility of the represent…
