摘要:
本文旨在研究基于家庭的微观经济基础的经济增长。它建立了两人家庭内生财富积累和消费的新古典增长模型。增长机制和经济结构基于具有张氏可支配收入和效用概念的广义Solowian增长模型。每个配偶最大化他/她的效用函数,这取决于他/她的以自我为中心的效用函数和配偶的以自我为中心的效用函数。一个以人为中心的效用函数与一个人的私人商品消费,家庭商品的消费以及由自己的可支配收入产生的储蓄有关。这对夫妇的决定是相互依存的,被建模为古诺·纳什游戏。我们的模型是内生地确定家庭内部财富的积累以及对消费和储蓄的资源分配。本文将新古典增长理论和家庭经济学中的一些基本思想进行了整合。我们进行了比较动态分析,以表明经济发展受到性别关系,偏好和技术的不同外生变化的影响。
Cournot-Nash Family Decision and Economic Growth in an Extended Solowian Model
AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to study economic growth with family-based microeconomic foundation. It develops a neoclassical growth model of endogenous wealth accumulation and consumption of two-person families. Growth mechanism and economic structures are based on a generalized Solowian growth model with Zhang’s concept of disposable income and utility. Each spouse maximizes his/her utility function which is dependent on his/her egocentric utility function and the spouse’s egocentric utility function. One’s egocentric utility function is related to one’s private consumption of goods, consumption of family goods, and saving made out of one’s own disposable income. The couple’s decisions are interdependent and are modelled as a Cournot-Nash game. Our model endogenously determines intra-household wealth accumulation and resource allocation on consumption and saving. The paper make an integration of some basic ideas in neoclassical growth theory and family economics. We conduct comparative dynamic analyses to show how the movement of the economy is affected by different exogenous changes in gender relations, preferences, and technologies.
