Optimal taxation and constrained inefficiency in an infinite-horizon economy with incomplete markets

Gottardi, Piero; Kajii, Atsushi; Nakajima, Tomoyuki - 2011

We study the dynamic Ramsey problem of finding optimal public debt and linear taxes on capital and labor income within a tractable infinite horizon model with incomplete markets. With zero public expenditure and debt, it is optimal to tax the risky labor income and subsidize capital, while a...

The tragedy of annuitization

Heijdra, Ben J.; Mierau, Jochen O.; Reijnders, Laurie S. M. - 2010

We construct a tractable discrete-time overlapping generations model of a closed economy and use it to study government redistribution of accidental bequests and private annuities in general equilibrium. Individuals face longevity risk as there is a positive probability of passing away before...

Illiquidity and under-valuation of firms

Gale, Douglas; Gottardi, Piero - 2009

We study a competitive model in which market incompleteness implies that debt-financed firms may default in some states of nature and default may lead to the sale of the firms' assets at fire sale prices when markets are illiquid. This incompleteness is the only friction in the model and the...

Determinants of stock market correlations : accounting for model uncertainty and reverse causality in a large panel setting

Afonso, António; Beck, Krzysztof; Jackson, Karen - 2022

We examine 22 determinants of stock market correlations in a panel setting with 651 country pairs of developed economies over the 2001-2018 period, while accounting for model uncertainty and reverse causality. On the one hand, we find, that a number of determinants, well established in the...

Optimal monetary policy with heterogeneous agents

Nuño, Galo; Thomas, Carlos - 2020

We analyze optimal monetary policy under commitment in an economy with uninsurable idiosyncratic risk, long-term nominal bonds and costly inflation. Our model features two transmission channels of monetary policy: a Fisher channel, arising from the impact of inflation on the initial price of...
