    • A Defense of the Current US Tax Treatment of Employer-Provided Medical Insurance 
      Huang, Kevin X. D.; Huffman, Gregory W. (Vanderbilt University, 2010)
      We develop a general equilibrium search model with endogenous health accumulation and a unique feature of the US tax code, that exempts employer-provided medical benefits from taxation, to jointly account for US long term ...
    • An Alternative View of Taxation and Endogenous Growth 
      Huffman, Gregory W. (Vanderbilt University, 2001)
      In this paper, a modification is made to the endogenous growth model studied by Lucas [1988]. It is shown that if individuals derive utility from their level of human capital, then a tax on the return to physical capital ...
    • An Analysis of Fiscal Policy with Endogenous Investment-Specific Technological Change 
      Huffman, Gregory W. (Vanderbilt University, 2008)
      The effects of distortional fiscal policies are studied within a model in which there is endogenous investment-specific technological change. Labor is used in the production of output and also for research purposes. Labor ...

      In many locales, the average price of existing home sales is used as an of indicator home prices. This information is then used to establish the value of the property for tax purposes. A simple example is presented here ...

      Huffman, Gregory W. (Vanderbilt University, 2002)
      This paper examines a model in which growth takes place through investment-specific technological change, which in turn is determined endogenously through research spending. In particular, the role of the degree of ...
    • On the Political Economy of Immigrationa and Income Redistribution 
      Dolmas, Jim; Huffman, Gregory W. (Vanderbilt University, 2003)
      In this paper, we study several general equilibrium models in which the agents in an economy must decide on the appropriate level of immigration into the country. Immigration does not enter directly into the native agents' ...
    • Propagation Through Endogenous Investment-Specific Technological Change 
      Huffman, Gregory W. (Vanderbilt University, 2002)
      Many real business cycle models lack a significant propagation mechanism. Consequently most of the serial correlation in output is inherited from the serial correlation in the exogenous shocks. A simple model is presented ...
