This paper asks whether the continued accumulation, or mild dissaving, observed among retired can be explained by uncertain lifetime. In absence of annuities, after an initial period influenced borrowing constraints, under constant relative risk aversion, lifetime depresses consumption a proportion increasing with age if elasticity intertemporal substitution in is "small." Illustrative computations, based on actual income and survival data, show that plausible elasticities are sufficiently...

This paper estimates the level and distribution of household wealth globally, as well for regions countries, period 2000–2014. The data used are mainly from surveys national accounts balance sheets, covering about two thirds world's population over 95% global wealth. Lists most wealthy published in media to adjust upper tail. Wealth levels distributions imputed countries without data. Estimated stood at USD 251 trillion 2014, having grown 117 year 2000. per adult 2014 was 53,000. estimated...
An empirically grounded micro-simulation of saving, with bequests related negatively either in total to average children's income or separately individual incomes, is constructed for a single generation steady growth economy. Behavioral parameters are set so that predicted the next consistent both scale and assignment inheritances (taken from real-world source) simulation generation. The relative impact inheritance other factors on different aspects economic inequality assessed. While major...
Abstract. We examine the publications of authors affiliated with an economics research institution in Canada (1) Top‐10 journals according to journals' impact factors, and (2) Canadian Journal Economics . consider all even years from 1980 2000. economists contributed about 5% 55% over this period. identify most active centres trends their relative outputs time. Those successful publishing are found also dominate Additionally, we check robustness our findings respect journal selection,...
Disrupted gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurotransmission may contribute to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Reductions in hippocampal GABAergic neurons have been found schizophrenia, and increased perfusion has described schizophrenia people at clinical high-risk for psychosis (CHRp). We also decreases GABA A receptors containing α 5 subunit (GABA α5) a well-validated neurodevelopmental rat model relevance Positive allosteric modulation these hippocampus using specific compound was...
This paper overviews recent work that has attempted to bring together microsimulation, Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) and macro models perform distributional analysis in developing transition countries. Particular attention is paid applications relating aspects of economic growth political economy. Applications which macro, CGE microsimulation are either layered or integrated considered. It demonstrated different combinations such models, including those where only a single model-type...
We estimate the level and distribution of global household wealth.The levels assets debts for 39 countries are measured using balance sheet survey data centred on year 2000.The determinants mean financial assets, non-financial liabilities studied empirically, results used to average wealth holdings lacking direct evidence.Data pattern assembled 20 countries, which together account 59 per cent population 75 observed relation between income in these allows estimates inequality be produced many...
Abstract Intergenerational earnings mobility is analyzed in a model where human capital produced using schooling and parental time. In steady states more mobile societies have less inequality, but the short run higher may result from an increase inequality. Starting same under public than private education. A rise income shocks, for example due to increased returns ability, or switch both However, shocks raise do not affect it long run, whereas role reduces run. That these differences help...
Abstract This paper reviews the basic principles of inequality measurement, underlining advantages and shortcomings alternative measures from a theoretical standpoint in context study distribution wealth. Adopting two most popular measures, Gini index P‐shares, documents wealth Canada using 1999, 2005 2012 Survey Financial Security (SFS). It carries out several decompositions with covariates, featuring DFL‐type reweighting methods P‐shares RIF regressions. The latter parallel deepen our...
Extending the idea from recent paper by Carbonero, Hompe, Moore, and Spirkl, for every function $f\colon\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}\cup\{\infty\}$ with $f(1)=1$ $f(n)\geq\binom{3n+1}{3}$, we construct a hereditary class of graphs $\mathcal{G}$ such that maximum chromatic number graph in clique $n$ is equal to $f(n)$ $n\in\mathbb{N}$. In particular, prove there exist classes are $\chi$-bounded but not polynomially $\chi$-bounded.
Abstract We prove that every finite colouring of the plane contains a monochromatic pair points at an odd distance from each other.
