How many cake-eaters? Choutte, on a du monde a diner
Article Abstract:
A cake-eating model with a non-renewable resource and a backstop technology is developed to describe the intertemporal effect of a sudden increase of the population level, e.g. due to migration. The migrants enter an economy in which there is already surplus labor, and they receive transfer from the natives.
