Compilation of documents that synthesize an original research about a concret topic in a study area with the aim of report on the state of the research. They help to discover new idees and concepts and to shape research lines specially in the social sciences and humanities areas.

16 p, 286.7 KB Welfare implications of the interaction between habits and consumption externalities / Alonso Carrera, Jaime (Universidad de Vigo) ; Caballé, Jordi (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) ; Raurich, Xavier (Universitat de Girona)
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. [...]

26 p, 434.5 KB Intergenerational mobility, occupational decision and the distribution of wages / Alonso Carrera, Jaime (Universidad de Vigo) ; Caballé, Jordi (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) ; Raurich, Xavier (Universitat de Barcelona)
We analyze the determinants of occupational and educational decisions in a model of dynastic altruism where individuals invest in the education of their children. We show that the relevant wage gaps that drive these two decisions are associated with the expected skill premium and the expected premium that each skill class faces when choosing a more effort-demanding occupation. [...]

28 p, 333.0 KB Aspirations, habit formation, and bequest motive / Alonso Carrera, Jaime (Universidad de Vigo) ; Caballé, Jordi (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) ; Raurich, Xavier (Universitat de Girona)
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. [...]

24 p, 280.3 KB Can consumption spillovers be a source of equilibrium indeterminacy? / Alonso Carrera, Jaime (Universidad de Vigo) ; Caballé, Jordi (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) ; Raurich, Xavier (Universitat de Barcelona)
In this paper, we show that consumption externalities are a source of equilibrium indeterminacy in a growth model with endogenous labor supply. In particular, when the marginal rate of substitution between own consumption and the others' consumption is constant along the equilibrium path, the equilibrium does not exhibit indeterminacy. [...]

32 p, 321.7 KB Fiscal policy, composition of intergenerational transfers, and income distribution / Alonso Carrera, Jaime (Universidad de Vigo) ; Caballé, Jordi (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) ; Raurich, Xavier (Universitat de Barcelona)
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. [...]

27 p, 370.0 KB Estate taxes, consumption externalities, and altruism / Alonso Carrera, Jaime (Universidad de Vigo) ; Caballé, Jordi (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) ; Raurich, Xavier (Universitat de Barcelona)
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. [...]

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.
