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...

This paper is a study of money in overlapping generations models with cash-in-advance constraints. We first offer a brief review of different features of the cash-in-advance constraint. Then we propose a general formulation and study the neutrality of money. We show that both neutrality and...

This paper examines the pattern of capital mobility in a two-country overlapping generations world in which production uses three inputs: capital, labor and land. The steady-state welfare consequences of opening countries to financial capital or labor mobility are then compared. In particular,...
