Pollution, reproductive health capital, and fertility
Recent research indicates that human infertility rate is increasing. This study explores the hypothesis that this change has occurred because of increasing pollution, which damages the reproductive health of individuals. Individuals can choose the number of their children without worrying about pollution effects when pollution is small relative to reproductive health capital. Nevertheless, when pollution becomes large in a relative sense, it cons…
Old-age support policy and fertility with strategic bequest motives
This paper presents an analysis of the effects of public old-age support on individuals’ fertility decisions and on the long-term equilibrium in an overlapping generation economy with strategic bequest motives. Parents must pay their adult children at least the reservation wage to receive informal old-age support from them (individual rationality constraint). Formal old-age support is financed through wage taxes on children. The increased present…
Elderly long-term care policy and sandwich caregivers’ time allocation between child-rearing and market labor
Using an overlapping generations model, we present analyses of public long-term care provision effects on fertility and time allocation decisions of sandwich caregivers, those caring for young children and old parents simultaneously. If the public long-term care level runs short of the necessary level, then working children must compensate for the difference by spending their time. Reportedly, about a third of university students’ parents are san…
Fertility and education decisions and child-care policy effects in a Nash-bargaining family model
Effects of capital taxation on economies with different demographic changes
Different demographic changes and patterns of trade in a Heckscher–Ohlin setting
Brain drain and technological relationship between skilled and unskilled labor
Optimal Nonlinear Taxation in an Overlapping-Generations Setting with Money as an Asset
We investigate the optimal nonlinear wage and interest-income taxes with money as an asset, assuming that there are two types of labor, which are not perfect substitutes in production, and that each type is difficult for the policymaker to observe. It is shown that the optimal interest-income taxation differentiates asset prices facing two types of individuals, and hence that the zero-nominal-interest-rate rule holds for the high-ability type, al…
Aging, fertility, social security and political equilibrium
Fertility, child care outside the home, and pay-as-you-go social security
Life expectancy, money, and growth
School Loans, Subsidies, and Economic Growth
This paper examines the effects of government educational subsidies on economic growth and welfare. In an overlapping-generations model with human-capital accumulation, it is shown that, even when human-capital externalities are large, an increase in government subsidies to private-education debt may have a negative effect on the long-run economic growth rate through the general-equilibrium effects of factor-price changes, thereby making future g…
Money, Human Capital, and Growth
Our purpose is to examine the effect of monetary expansion on capital accumulation and economic growth in an overlapping generations model with the growth engine of human capital accumulation. It is shown that, under the money-in-the-utility-function approach, money growth stimulates human capital accumulation of individuals, through asset demand shifts from money to capital and arbitrage movements from physical to human capital. So it also boost…
