In a Diamond-type overlapping-generations setting public debt issuance places no burden on future generations including those who repay the debt if prices and wages are fixed and unemployment occurs in the periods in which public bonds are issued and repaid. Whether the collected fund is spent...

This study examines international spillover effects on production automationof technological shocks. It employs a two-commodity, two-factor, two-countrymodel with automated production. International asymmetry in productionstructure is essential to understanding automation advances in countries...

Numerous empirical studies find that the spread between long- and short-term interest rates widens (narrows) prior to economic expansions (contractions), a phenomenon called the leading indicator property of the term spread (LIPTS). However, the theoretical mechanism underlying LIPTS remains...
