Eliciting Risk Preferences and Elasticity of Substitution [PDF]
Risk aversion and elasticity of intertemporal substitution (EIS) are separated via the celebrated recursive utility building on certainty equivalents of indirect utility. Based on an alternative separation method, we formulate a questionnaire for simultaneous and consistent estimation of risk aversion, subjective discount rate, and EIS.

Risk aversion, intertemporal substitution, and the aggregate investment-uncertainty relationship [PDF]
We analyze the role of risk aversion and intertemporal substitution in a simple dynamic general equilibrium model of investment and savings. Our main finding is that risk aversion cannot by itself explain a negative relationship between aggregate ...

Elasticities of substitution and complementarity [PDF]
This paper develops a classification scheme of the many different definitions of elasticities of substitution and complementarity in the production case based on primal and dual representations of technology and their related direct and inverse demand functions, gross and net substitution, elasticity type, and three different basic concepts of ...

Carbon tax effect difference on net-zero carbon emissions target and social welfare level promotion
This research aims to find the best carbon tax regime for the achievement of net-zero carbon emissions and promotion of social welfare level. We discuss two regimes in this study, including carbon tax on total social welfare level (CTTW) and carbon tax ...

The labor income Shares, the Price Markup, and the Elasticity of Substitution Between Capital and Labor [PDF]
The labor income share is constant under the assumptions of a Cobb-Douglas production function and perfect competition. This paper modifies these assumptions, and investigates how to behave actually dynamic the labor income share within the Iranian ...

Elasticity of Substitution for Production Functions in Romania and other Countries [PDF]
The production function is explaining the mechanism through which inputs are changed into outputs and the partial efficiency of labour and capital. It also allows for understanding the elasticity of substitution, which measures the percentage change in ...

Piketty’s Elasticity of Substitution: A Critique [PDF]
This article examines Thomas Piketty’s explanation of a falling wage share. Piketty explains rising income inequality between labor and capital as a result of one parameter of a production function: an elasticity of substitution, σ, between labor and capital greater than one.

Structural change, elasticity of substitution, and growth
This paper investigates structural change driven by sectoral differences in the elasticity of substitution (ES). While existing literature successfully replicates empirical patterns using complex numerical simulations, the underlying mechanisms often ...
