Public Budget Composition, Fiscal(De)Centralization, and Welfare (2007)

Growth Effects of Spatial Redistribution Policies (2007)
Arcalean, Calin, Glomm, Gerhard, Schiopu, Ioana
We develop a two-region, two sector model with migration and public investment in infrastructure and education. In a numerical example calibrated to Portugal, we find that the structural funds can...

This paper examines a revenue neutral green tax reform along the lines of the Double Dividend hypothesis. Using a dynamic general equilibrium model calibrated to the US economy, we find that...

Endogenous Public Expenditures on Education
PETER BEARSE, GERHARD GLOMM, DEBRA MOORE PATTERSON
We construct a model of the determination of public funding of education through majority voting. Households have the option of privately supplementing public education. Alternatively, they can opt...
Public Pensions and Capital Accumulation: The Case of Brazil
Gerhard Glomm, Jürgen Jung, Changmin Lee, Chung Tran
We use an OLG model to study the effects of the generous public sector pension system in Brazil. In our model there are two types of workers, one working in the private sector, the other working in...
On the social stability of coalitional property rights regimes
We present a model of coalitional property rights (CPR) regimes - regimes in which ownership of a good is attributable to coalitions of various sizes. Specifically, for each good, we define a legal...
Macroeconomic Implications of Early Retirement in the Public Sector: The Case of Brazil
Gerhard Glomm, Juergen Jung, Chung Tran
In Brazil generous public sector pensions have induced civil servants to retire on average at age 55. In this paper we use an OLG model to assess the effects of such policy induced early retirement...

Distributional Effects of Public Education in an Economy with Public Pensions
Gerhard Glomm, Michael Kaganovich
We study how the allocation of government expenditures between two major outlays-education and pay-as-you-go social security-affects human capital distribution in an economy with heterogeneous...
INEQUALITY, MAJORITY VOTING AND THE REDISTRIBUTIVE EFFECTS OF PUBLIC EDUCATION FUNDING
This paper documents that in poor countries redistribution in cash is negligible. To the extent that public education funding is redistributive, the lion's share of redistribution in poor countries...
Composition of Government Budget, Non-single Peakedness, and Majority Voting.
Bearse, Peter, Glomm, Gerhard, Janeba, Eckhard
In this paper we study whether majority voting equilibria exist when preferences over public policies are not single peaked. The government levies a proportional income tax. Tax revenue is used to...

Human capital accumulation and endogenous public expenditures
In this paper, we present an overlapping-generations model, where individuals accumulate human capital through formal schooling. We model the role of the public sector in schooling as one of...
Flat-Rate Taxes, Government Spending on Education, and Growth
We address three questions in this paper. First, what is the impact on growth of changes in flat-rate taxes when government spending on education affects private decisions to accumulate human...
A Model of Growth and Migration.
This paper contains a model with which the desirability of persistent urbanization can be examined. There are two regions: city and countryside. Joint restrictions on the technologies in each region...
Growth-Inequality Trade-Offs in a Model with Public Sector R&D.
In this paper, the authors present an infinite-horizon economy where the stock of technological knowledge enhances the productivity of all households. Technological knowledge depends upon public...
A Dynamic Tiebout Theory of Voluntary vs. Involuntary Provision of Public Goods.
Glomm, Gerhard, Lagunoff, Roger
This paper considers a dynamic model of Tiebout-like migration between communities that utilize distinct allocation procedures for public goods. At issue is whether voluntary or compulsory procedures...

"A Tiebout Theory of Public vs Private Provision of Collective Goods"
We study whether "coercive" public provision or voluntary private provision of public goods can survive when individuals who "vote with their feet" can choose between communities that differ in the...

This paper considers a dynamic model of Tiebout-like migration between communities that utilize distinct allocation procedures for public goods. At issue is whether voluntary or compulsory procedures...
Does Inefficiency Justify Privatization? The Case of Intermediate Industry Monopolies
We use an infinitely lived agent model in which an intermediate good is provided either by a public or a private monopolist to study the effects of privatization on steady state levels of income. We...
Endogenous expenditures on public schools and persistent growth
In this paper, we present a model where individuals accumulate human capital through the formal schooling. To take into account the large involvement of the public sector in education we introduce a...
Opting out of publicly provided services: A majority voting result
Our objective in this paper is to examine majority voting in an environment where both public and private alternatives coexist. We construct a model in which households are differentiated by income...
Social security, public education and the growth-inequality relationship
Glomm, Gerhard, Kaganovich, Michael
We study how the relationship between economic growth and inequality depends upon the levels of funding of two of the largest government programs, public education and social security. We do this in...
Public versus Private Investment in Human Capital Endogenous Growth and Income Inequality.
In this paper, the authors present an overlapping generations model with heterogeneous agents in which human capital investment through formal schooling is the engine of growth. The authors use...
