Abstract: This paper examines the effects of international income transfers on capital accumulation and welfare in a one-sector overlapping generations model. It is shown that a strong form of the transfer paradox - in which the donor country experiences a welfare gain while the recipient country experiences a welfare loss - may occur both in and out of steady state. In addition, it is shown that a weak form of the transfer paradox - where either the donor or recipient (but not both) experiences a paradoxical welfare effect - may characterize all segments of the transition path not already characterized by the strong transfer paradox. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.
