Long-run effects of Public Capital rent dissipation
2011
We consider an overlapping generation model where the consumption
commodity is produced by means of a constant returns to scale technology
that uses both private and public inputs. Congestion is addressed by sharing
the rents of public capital between the private factors (labor and capital). We
analyze what happens to the equilibrium when there is an exogenous increase
in the stock of public capital. The impact of such an increase is decomposed
into three different effects that work through factor prices and the higher level
of taxation required for finance the public investment. One key parameter is
the fraction of the rents created by the public capital that goes to labor.
