This paper explores the estimation of a class of life-cycle discrete choice intergenerational models. It proposes a new semiparametric estimator. It shows that it is root-N-consistent and asymptotically normally distributed. We compare our estimator with a modified version of the full solution...

In this study, we investigate the presence of asymmetric interactions between oil prices, oil price uncertainty, interest rates and unemployment in a cointegration framework. Utilizing the nonlinear auto-regressive distributed lag (NARDL) approach, we show the asymmetric responses of...

This paper studies the optimal taxation of families in an environment in which (i) potential parents differ by their labor productivity and child-bearing preference, which are only observable by the family, and (ii) child-rearing requires both goods and parental time. Potential parents...

We study the impact of income taxation on intergenerational income correlation. We estimate a life cycle dynastic model and conduct counterfactual analysis to observe the effects of various tax regimes. Compared to a no tax environment, a flat tax regime reduces the correlation only by one...
