Abstract

This study considers a market economy where firms produce goods from labor and capital and households supply labor, rear children, save in capital, promote their members’ health and longevity by health care, and derive utility from their consumption and children, without caring of their adult offspring. There is a risk that population growth and capital accumulation trigger a lethal environmental disaster. Optimal policy is solved by a game where the government is the leader and the representative household the follower. The solution yields precautionary taxes on both capital income and health care.

The mortality rate m is introduced as a factor of utility through health \(\ell \) [cf. (12.18)] only to ensure that the functions (12.26) and (12.42) can be strictly concave with respect to the mortality rate m for realistic values of consumption per head, c, capital per head, k, and the mortality rate m.
