This paper constructs a two-country migration model in the lines of Galor (1986), in which the world population consists of individuals of two types who have different time preferences. Production uses three inputs: mobile labour, immobile capital and land. It is shown that both countries are...

This chapter surveys intergenerational altruism in neoclassical growth models. It first examines Barro's approach to intergenerational altruism, whereby successive generations are linked by recursive altruistic preferences. Individuals have an altruistic concern only for their children, who in...

[eng] Effects of Pollution Permits on Capital Accumulation in an Overlapping-Generations Model.. The authors use an overlapping-generations model to study the effects of the introduction of a market for pollution permits and the effects of a variation in the number of permits on long-term...

This paper analyzes the issue of income redistribution in a small economy in the process of opening itself to labor migration. It assumes that only full-fledged citizens benefit from redistribution and that it takes one period for a migrant to become a citizen. The degree of redistribution...

This paper constructs an overlapping generations model of pollution externality wherein individ- uals are altruistically linked to their offspring as in Barro (1974). It is shown that steady-state consumption can be a decreasing function of the intergenerational degree of altruism. Despite...

We contrast private and public ownership of environment in their ability to internalize the negative externality associated to the urge of the environment in the production process. This paper constructs a dynamic general equilibrium model with overlapping generations and property rights on...

We construct an overlapping generations model of pollution externality in which individuals are altruistically linked to their offspring as in Barro (1974). It is shown that steady-state consumption may be a decreasing function of the intergenerational degree of altruism. Despite individuals'...
