Abstract

We build an OLG model with productive capital in which agents live for two periods and display myopia in their altruistic bequest motive. Indeed , they care for their children's welfare like Barro-Becker altruists but what they value is income. A govern,emt redistributes income from the young to the old in a lump-sum way.
