The Dynamics of Bequeathed Tastes

David de la Croix

No 1996004, LIDAM Discussion Papers IRES from Université catholique de Louvain, Institut de Recherches Economiques et Sociales (IRES)

Abstract: If children inherit life standard aspirations from their parents, their savings are affected and cycles may appear in OLG models with production. At some point of an expansion, aspirations grow faster than wages, savings decrease, and a contraction begins.

Keywords: Non-separable preferences; aspirations; OLG; cycles; Hopf (search for similar items in EconPapers)
