An overlapping-generations model with search
Search is embeded in an overlapping-generations model. Young people participate a centralized market and a decentralized market sequentially and olds only participates the centralized market. The demographic feature allows analytical tractability. In a series examples, positve inflation rates are Pareto optimal. JEL classification: E31
متن کاملActive 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 کاملTransaction Costs in Financial Models
Standard models for nancial markets are based on the simplifying assumption that trading orders can be given and executed in continuous time with no friction. This assumption is clearly a strong idealization of the reality. In particular, securities should not be described by a single price but by a bid and ask curve. As a rst approximation, one may assume that the bid and ask prices do not d...
متن کاملOverlapping generations , intermediation , and the First Welfare Theorem
The First Welfare Theorem fails to hold for standard pure exchange overlapping generations economies because no agent exploits the profit opportunities which can arise from mediating intertemporal trade. This paper modifies the standard economy by introducing an optimizing corporate intermediary which distributes net earnings back to consumer-shareholders. The Pareto inefficient no-trade state,...
