Existence of Competitive Equilibrium in a General Overlapping-Generations Model*
In the companion paper [2], Balasko and Shell establish existence of competitive equilibrium for a pure-distribution, overlapping-generations economy without money (see, especially, Propositions (3.10) and (3.11) in Section 3). That argument is remarkably simple, but depends critically on some strong hypotheses concerning individual tastes and endowments. In particular, it is assumed that, in a...
متن کاملActive and passive monetary policy in an overlapping generations model
In a standard overlapping generations model, active monetary policy reinforces mechanisms that lead to equilibrium indeterminacy and to countercyclical behavior of young-age consumption. The policy rule which minimizes inflation volatility can be active or passive, depending on the characteristics of shocks and the risk aversion of households. Inflation forecast errors are always greater under ...
متن کاملOverlapping Generations and Environmental Policy: An Introduction
A small but growing body of literature uses overlapping generations (OLG) models to study environmental policy for long-lived problems such as climate change. An OLG model, unlike the infinitely lived representative agent model, distinguishes between impatience with respect to one’s own future utility, and attitudes toward successors’ utility. I discuss the problem of time inconsistency, the ro...
متن کاملTrade and Resource Policy with Overlapping Generations∗
Trade changes incentives to protect an open-access natural resource. In an OLG setting, the capital asset market transfers policy-induced future gains and losses to the current asset owner. The asset market creates incentives for agents currently alive to protect the natural resource under autarchy. Trade reverses these incentives. In a dynamic political economy, resource policies in both the o...
متن کاملLocal Indeterminacy under Dynamic Efficiency in a Two-sector Overlapping Generations Economy
We consider a two-sector two-periods overlapping generations model with inelastic labor, consumption in both periods of life and homothetic CES preferences. Assuming gross substitutability and a capital intensive consumption good, we prove that when dynamic efficiency holds, local indeterminacy and sunspot fluctuations occur with low enough values for the sectoral elasticities of capital-labor ...
