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.

Giving with Impure Altruism: Applications to Charity and Ricardian Equivalence
TL;DR: The authors formally developed a model of giving in which altruism is not "pure." In particular, people are assumed to get a "warm glow" from giving, and this model generates identifiable comparative statics results that show that crowding out of charity is incomplete and that government debt will have Keynesian effects.
