The results from our benchmark model indicate that a modest IRA contribution limit similar to that in effect during the early 1980's raises the steady-state capital stock by 6.18 percent; approximately 9 percent of IRA contributions constitutes incremental saving. Our results lend support to recent suggestions that retirement accounts with favorable tax ...

Cyclical contractions involve declines in real interest rates, increases in credit rationing, and withdrawals of savings from banks. For some confi...

Immigration to America raises American income, but lowers European income dollar for dollar, while European unemployment rises. Absent South-...
