Active intermediation in a monetary overlapping generations economy1
This paper establishes that the profit-seeking activities of private intermediaries can ensure Pareto efficiency in the standard pure-exchange monetary overlapping generations economy without the need for government monetary or fiscal policy intervention. Moreover, these profit-seeking activities are shown to rule out all aperiodic and kperiodic cycles for k greater than 2. Contrary to much rec...
متن کاملActive Intermediation in a Monetary Overlapping Generations Economy
It is now widely believed that government intervention is essential to ensure Pareto efficiency in the standard overlapping generations economy with nonaltruistic agents. This paper argues that the normal profit-seeking activities of private intermediaries—missing from the standard overlapping generations economy—would tend to eliminate the need for such government intervention. A private earni...
متن کاملBusiness Cycle Phenomena in Overlapping Generations Economies with Stochastic Production
This paper analyzes economic uctuations in an overlapping generations economy with productive capital in which random shocks in aggregate productivity are present. Under speci c assumptions we obtain an explicit solution of the model. Applying random dynamical systems theory, we can prove that the long-run behavior of the economy is uniquely described by an asymptotically stable random xed poin...
متن کاملRecursive Equilibrium in Stochastic Overlapping - Generations Economies
THE OVERLAPPING-GENERATIONS (OLG) model, introduced first by Allais (1947) and Samuelson (1958), is one of the two major workhorses for macroeconomic and financial modeling of open-ended dynamic economies. Following developments in the study of two-period economies, the OLG model has been extended to cover stochastic economies with production and possibly incomplete financial markets. As is the...
متن کاملWalras’ Law in Overlapping Generations Economies
Aiyagari (1992) shows that equilibria are nonoptimal for an overlapping generations economy if and only if Walras’ Law fails. We demonstrate that this failure represents an earnings opportunity exploitable by unsecured debt issue. When unsecured debt is issued, Walras’ Law holds. JEL Classification: D5, D6, D9
