本文构建了一个具有遗赠和生前转移的异质智能体重叠代模型。在该模型中，同一家族中的家庭会有策略地决定他们的消费、工作时间、礼物和储蓄。这篇论文将该模型与美国经济进行了校准，测量了与经济的资本产出率和代际转移规模相一致的时间偏好和父母利他主义。代际转移模型更好地解释了美国的财富分配，尽管不是完全的。本文还分析了政府政策变化对财富积累、分配和社会福利的影响。(版权:爱思唯尔)
This paper constructs a heterogeneous agent overlapping generations model with bequests and inter vivos transfers. In the model, households in the same family line behave strategically to determine their consumption, working hours, gifts, and savings. Calibrating the model to the U.S. economy, the paper measures time preference and parental altruism consistent with the economy's capital-output ratio and the size of intergenerational transfers. The model with intergenerational transfers better explains, although not fully, the wealth distribution of the United States. The paper also analyzes the effects of government policy changes on wealth accumulation, distribution, and social welfare. (Copyright: Elsevier)
