Limits to Redistribution and Intertemporal Wedges: Implications of Pareto Optimality with Private Information
T raditionally an object of interest in microeconomics, models with privately informed agents have recently been used to study numerous topics in macroeconomics.1 Characterization of Pareto-optimal allocations is an essential step in these studies, because the structure of optimal institutions of macroeconomic interest depends on the structure of optimal allocations. In models with privately in...
متن کاملGlobal Poverty Reduction and Pareto-Improving Redistribution
Can a transfer of wealth from the US to developing countries be Pareto improving? We analyze this question in an open-economy innovation-driven growth model, in which the highincome (low-income) country produces innovative (homogenous) goods. We find that wealth redistribution to the low-income country simultaneously reduces global inequality and stimulates innovation through an increase in lab...
متن کاملPublic and Private Hospitals , Congestion , and Redistribution
This paper studies how congestion in the public health sector can be used as a redistributive tool. In our model, agents differ in income and they can obtain a health service either from a congested public hospital or from a non congested private one at a higher price. With pure in-kind redistribution, agents fail to internalize their impact on congestion, and the demand for the public hospital...
متن کاملComputing Pareto Optimal Committees
Selecting a set of alternatives based on the preferences of agents is an important problem in committee selection and beyond. Among the various criteria put forth for desirability of a committee, Pareto optimality is a minimal and important requirement. As asking agents to specify their preferences over exponentially many subsets of alternatives is practically infeasible, we assume that each ag...
متن کاملRedistribution and Optimal Retirement Financing∗
We study optimal redistribution in life-cycle economy with privately observed permanent permanent earning ability types and mortality types. The novel feature of our analysis is that earning ability and mortality are negatively correlated. We characterize pareto optima and show that efficient allocation must satisfy an inverse euler equation (despite ability types being permanent). Hence, all a...
