In this paper we show that the neoclassical standard OLG growth model, under low substitution in preferences and technology, may generate three stable steady states. In particular we show the richness of the dynamical roles played by the intertemporal substitution parameter. The novelty of our...

We examine the effects of child policies on both transitional dynamics and long-term demo-economic outcomes in an overlapping-generations neoclassical growth model à la Chakraborty (2004) extended with endogenous fertility under the assumption of weak altruism towards children. The government...

Using an overlapping-generations small open economy with endogenous lifetime a la Chakraborty (2004), we show that an increase in public investments in health is beneficial to life expectancy but can actually reduce both saving and domestic income per worker. Moreover, using the notion of...

This study analyses the dynamics of an economy with overlapping generations, endogenous population (fertility and adult mortality), logarithmic preferences and Cobb–Douglas technology. We show that the public provision of health investments and the existence of a private system of old-age...

In this paper, we study a general equilibrium model with overlapping generations, endogenous fertility and public pensions. By assuming Cobb–Douglas technology and logarithmic preferences, we show that the introduction of a fertility-related component in the pay-as-you-go pension scheme may...
