TLDR
This article developed the equilibrium conditions for a rational consumer's lifetime consumption-saving pattern, a problem more recently given by Harrod the useful name of "hump saving" but which Landry, Bbhm-Bawerk, Fisher, and others had touched on long before my time.
Abstract
M Y FIRST published paper' has come of age, and at a time when the subjects it dealt with have come back into fashion. It developed the equilibrium conditions for a rational consumer's lifetime consumption-saving pattern, a problem more recently given by Harrod the useful name of "hump saving" but which Landry, Bbhm-Bawerk, Fisher, and others had touched on long before my time.2 It dealt only with a single individual and did not discuss the mutual determination by all individuals of the

Are Government Bonds Net Wealth

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the effects of different types of intergenerational transfer schemes on the stock of public debt in the context of an overlapping-generations model and show that finite lives will not be relevant to the capitalization of future tax liabilities so long as current generations are connected to future generations by a chain of operative inter-generational transfers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a simple example of an economy in which equilibrium prices and quantities exhibit what may be the central feature of the modern business cycle: a systematic relation between the rate of change in nominal prices and the level of real output.

Asset pricing with liquidity risk

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple equilibrium model with liquidity risk is proposed, where a security's required return depends on its expected liquidity as well as on the covariances of its own return and liquidity with the market return.
