Longevity, pollution and growth
In this paper, we develop an OLG model where both longevity and fertility are endogenous. The authorities provide two types of public expenditures: health services and environmental maintenance that participate to increase agents’ life expectancy. Under proper conditions on the fiscal policy implemented by the government, the global dynamics is featured by multiple equilibria: a high growth rat...
متن کاملComparative nutrition, growth and longevity.
are already aware of all these many difficulties and are ready to accept the convenience of the concept of ‘fitness’ in evolutionary theory, when faced with the necessity to explain. Finally, I think that it is only right to point out that man refuses to conform to many of the generalizations which have arisen in comparative study. All would agree that Adrian Spigelius of Padua in the 16th cent...
متن کاملEndogenous longevity, biological deterioration and economic growth.
The identification of the types of bidirectional interactions that take place between longevity and economic growth in the long-run is carried out by means of the integration of human capital accumulation, innovation in medical technology, a health goods sector, and individual decisions on health and longevity in a dynamic general equilibrium set-up. In this context, in which individual agents ...
متن کاملRising longevity, education, savings, and growth
This paper examines the impact of declines in adult mortality on growth in an overlapping generations model. With public education and imperfect annuity markets, a decline in mortality affects growth through three channels. First, it raises the saving rate and thereby increases the rate of physical capital accumulation. Second, it reduces accidental bequests, lowers investment, and thereby lowe...
متن کاملBayesian learning, growth, and pollution
Environmental problems, such as climate change, have great uncertainties. Current expectations are that uncertainties about climate change will be resolved quickly. We examine this hypothesis theoretically and computationally. We consider Bayesian learning about the relationship between greenhouse gas levels and global mean temperature changes, a key uncertainty. Learning is non-trivial because...
