Elisabet fet.
We analyze the welfare properties of the equilibrium path of a growth model where both habits and consumption externalities affect the utility of consumers. Our analysis highlights the crucial role played by complementarities between externalities and habits in order to generate an inefficient dynamic equilibrium. [...]

Elisabet fet.
We analyze how the presence of endogenous preferences affects the altruistic bequest motive from parents to children. We will show that the existence of habits raises the threshold value of the intergenerational discount factor above which altruistic bequests are positive, while aspiration formation could push this value down. [...]

Elisabet fet.
In this paper, we characterize the relationship between the initial distribution of human capital and physical inheritances among individuals and the long-run distribution of these two variables. In a model with indivisible investment in education, we analyze how the initial distribution of income determines the posterior intergenerational mobility in human capital and the evolution of intragenerational income inequality.

Elisabet fet.
We study how the introduction of consumption externalities affects the optimality of the dynamic equilibrium in an economy displaying dynastic altruism. When the bequest motive is inoperative consumption externalities affect the intertemporal margin between young and old consumption and thus modify the intertemporal path of aggregate consumption and capital.

Sectoral composition and macroeconomic dynamics / Alonso Carrera, Jaime (Universidad de Vigo) ; Caballé, Jordi (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) ; Raurich, Xavier (Universitat de Barcelona)
Elisabet fet - No ha pujat l'arxiu.
We analyze the transitional dynamics of a model with heterogeneous consumption goods. In this model, convergence is driven by two different forces: the typical diminishing returns to capital and the sectoral change inducing the variation in relative prices. [...]

In this paper, we build a model that, according to the empirical evidence, gives raise to oscillations in wealth within a dynasty while keeping intergenerational persistence in education attainment. The mechanism that we propose is based on the interaction between effort and wealth suggested by the Carnegie effect, according to which wealthier individuals make less effort than the poorer. [...]

This paper proposes a new channel through which scal austerity affects the macroeconomy. We introduce endogenous migration for both the unemployed and the employed members of the labour force in a small open economy New Keynesian model with labour market frictions exposed to a rich scal policy.

Unitat de Fonaments de l'Anàlisi Econòmica
We study the role that the productive structure plays in determining carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by industry. Specifically, we distinguish and isolate the interdependencies originating from the structure of the demand for inputs from those resulting from the supply structure. [...]

Interpreting Science for a General Public : The Rockefeller Foundation and the Politics of Science Popularization in the 1930s / Sastre-Juan, Jaume (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Filosofia)
In 1938 and 1939, the Rockefeller Foundation organized two confidential conferences "On the Interpretation of the Natural Sciences for a General Public", commissioned an exhaustive survey of contemporary science popularization in the United States and actively participated in international efforts in this direction under the auspices of the Paris-based International Institute of Intellectual Cooperation of the League of Nations.
