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...

We study a closed economy featuring heterogeneous agents and exhibiting endogenous economic growth due to interfirm external effects. Individual agents differ in terms of their mortality profile. At birth, nature assigns a health status to each agent. Health type is private information and...

We study adverse selection on annuity markets in a general-equilibrium model of the closed economy. Agents differ in their health type and invest their assets on the annuity market. Without informational asymmetries themodel features a separating equilibrium in which each agent obtains an...
