Taxing Capital? Not a Bad Idea After All!

D Krueger, H Lustig… - CFS Working Paper Series, 2006 - ideas.repec.org
We evaluate the asset pricing implications of a class of models in which risk sharing is
imperfect because of the limited enforcement of intertemporal contracts. Lustig (2004) has
shown that in such a model the asset pricing kernel can be written as a simple function of ...

DP5040 On the Optimal Progressivity of the Income Tax Code

JC Conesa… - 2005 - cepr.org
This paper computes the optimal progressivity of the income tax code in a dynamic general
equilibrium model with household heterogeneity in which uninsurable labour productivity
risk gives rise to a nontrivial income and wealth distribution. A progressive tax system ...

DP5834 On the Consequences of Demographic Change for Rates of Return to Capital, and the Distribution of Wealth and Welfare

D Krueger… - 2006 - cepr.org
This paper employs a multi-country large scale Overlapping Generations model with
uninsurable labour productivity and mortality risk to quantify the impact of the demographic
transition towards an older population in industrialized countries on world-wide rates of ...

Intergenerational Risk Sharing: Myth or Possibility

D Krueger… - Computing in Economics and Finance 2001, 2001 - ideas.repec.org
In this paper we develop an algorithm to numerically solve dynamic stochastic overlapping
generations economies. In our model agents live for six periods and face idiosyncratic as
well as aggregate uncertainty with respect to their labor and capital income. Insurance ...

In this paper we investigate the positive and normative consequences of child-labour

faire equilibrium may be inefficient, there are usually better policies to cure these ...

P Bajari, P Chan, D Krueger… - 2010 - cepr.org
Using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) we specify, estimate and
simulate a dynamic structural model of housing demand. Our model generalizes previous
applied econometric work by incorporating realistic features of the housing market ...

D Krueger… - 2005 - cepr.org
This paper studies an overlapping generations model with stochastic production and
incomplete markets to assess whether the introduction of an unfunded social security system
leads to a Pareto improvement. When returns to capital and wages are imperfectly ...

Zusammenfassung: In this paper we quantitatively characterize the optimal capital and labor
income tax in an overlapping generations model with idiosyncratic, uninsurable income
shocks, where households also differ permanently with respect to their ability to generate ...

A Glover, J Heathcote, D Krueger… - 2011 - cepr.org
In this paper we construct a stochastic overlapping-generations general equilibrium model
in which households are subject to aggregate shocks that a ffect both wages and asset
prices. We use a calibrated version of the model to quantify how the welfare costs of ...

[PDF] Theoretical and Computational Appendix to:“Risk Sharing: Private Insurance Markets or Redistributive Taxes?”

[PDF] from fperri.com
D Krueger… - 2001 - fperri.com
Abstract In this appendix we provide more extensive proofs of results in the main paper. In
particular we explicitly prove results that are direct adaptations of arguments from Atkeson
and Lucas (1995) and hence omitted in the main paper

DP7625 Public versus Private Risk Sharing

D Krueger… - 2010 - cepr.org
Can public insurance through redistributive income taxation improve the allocation of risk in
an economy in which private risk sharing is limited? The answer depends crucially on the
fundamental friction that limits private risk sharing in the first place. If risk sharing is ...

How do households smooth earnings fluctuations: what can we learn from Consumer Expenditure Data?

F Perri… - 2004 Meeting Papers, 2004 - ideas.repec.org
In this paper we demonstrate that different incomplete markets models yield qualitatively
distinct predictions about how consumption growth responds to declines and increases in
earnings. Markets are either exogenously incomplete in that households can only trade a ...
