2003réf. 114099Cambridge: The MIT Press 2003. First edition of these lectures by the Nobel Prize-winning economist. Octavo original cloth. Signed by Peter Diamond on the half-title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. In this book Peter Diamond analyzes social security as a particular example of optimal taxation theory. Assuming a world of incomplete markets and asymmetric information he uses a variety of simple models to illuminate the economic forces that bear on specific social security policy issues. The focus is on the degree of progressivity desirable in social security and the design of incentives to delay retirement beyond the earliest age of eligibility for benefits. Before analyzing these models Diamond presents introductions to optimal income tax theory and the theory of incomplete markets. He incorporates recent theoretical developments such as time-inconsistent preferences into his analyses and shows that distorting taxes and a measure of progressivity in benefits are desirable. Diamond also discusses social security reform with a focus on Germany. The MIT Press hardcover books

1990réf. 90367Cambridge: The MIT Press 1990. First edition of this collection of essays compiled to celebrate the Nobel Prize-winning economist's birthday; signed by two Nobel Peace-prize winning economists. Signed by Robert Solow below his frontispiece portrait and editor Peter Diamond on the front free endpaper. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Robert Merton Solow is known for his work on the theory of economic growth that culminated in the exogenous growth model named after him. He was awarded the John Bates Clark Medal in 1961 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1987 and the 2014 Presidential Medal of Freedom. Solow and colleague Paul Samuelson were responsible for MIT becoming the top ranked economics department. The MIT economists were thus growthmen in two senses: in seeing growth as an absolutely central policy imperative and in seeing the theory of growth as a focus for economic research. What the MIT growthmen added was a distinctive style of analysis that made it easier to address the dominant policy concerns in tractable formal models. Solow's 1956 model was the perfect exemplar of the MIT style. It provided the central framework for the subsequent developments in growth theory and secured MIT as the center of the universe in the golden age of growth theory in the 1960s Boianovsky and Hoover 199-200.
