This paper reexamines monetary non-superneutrality and the optimality of the optimum quantity of money in the money-in-utility Sidrauski model with endogenous fluctuations of the time preference by introducing in?ation aversion. It is shown that the long-run superneutrality of the standard...

This note completely characterizes continuous time models with general cash-in-advance constraints in that money is demanded for purchasing not only consumption goods but also for making all or some investments. Examining the three-dimensional dynamics of an exogenous growth model with general...

This paper presents a strategic growth model that analyzes the impact of Endogenous preferences on equilibrium dynamics by employing the tools provided by lattice theory and supermodular games. Supermodular game structure of the model let us provide monotonicity results on the greatest and the...

We study an overlapping-generations model in which agents' mortality risks, and consequently impatience, are endogenously determined by private and public investment in health care. Revenues allocated for public health care arc determined by a voting process. We find that the degree of...

Preference for flexibility arises inherently in sequential decision making. However, a majority of the literature has limitations to capture a changing preference for flexibility across time in the sense that such an attitude is independent of past actions. This study incorporates the histories...

This paper introduces time preference which depends on private investment for patience along the lines of Becker and Mulligan (1997) into a one-sector AK model. Assuming that time preference also hinges on the social level of such investment and that of consumption, we show that multiple...
