Child allowances, fertility, and chaotic dynamics.

چکیده
This paper analyzes the dynamics in an overlapping generations model with the provision of child allowances. Fertility is an increasing function of child allowances and there exists a threshold effect of the marginal effect of child allowances on fertility. We show that if the effectiveness of child allowances is sufficiently high, an intermediate-sized tax rate will be enough to generate chaotic dynamics. Besides, a decrease in the inter-temporal elasticity of substitution will prevent the occurrence of irregular cycles.

Public Debt, Child Allowances and Pension Benefits with Endogenous Fertility
The public debt stock in some economically developed countries continues to increase because of a lack of tax revenues and the concomitant burdens of social security. Many of those countries suffer from lower birth rates and consequently, have fewer children. Child allowances might be an effective way to increase fertility, leading to higher future tax revenues through an increase in the number...
متن کاملMalthus was right after all: poor relief and birth rates in southeastern England.
The payment of child allowances to laborers with large families was widespread in early nineteenth-century England. This paper tests Thomas Malthus's hypothesis that child allowances caused the birth rate to increase. A cross-sectional regression model is estimated to explain variations in birth rates across parishes in 1826-30. Birth rates are found to be related to child allowances, income, a...

متن کاملChaotic dynamics and synchronization of fractional order PMSM system
In this paper, we investigate the chaotic behaviors of the fractional-order permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) system. The necessary condition for the existence of chaos in the fractional-order PMSM system is deduced and an active controller is developed based on the stability theory for fractional systems. The presented control scheme is simple and flexible, and it is suitable both fo...
متن کاملControl of a Chemical Reactor with Chaotic Dynamics
In this paper, control of a non-isothermal continuous stirred tank reactor in which two parallel autocatalytic reactions take place has been addressed. The reactor shows chaotic behavior for a certain set of reactor parameters. In order to control the product concentration, an optimal state feedback controller has been designed. Since concentrations of reactor species are ...
