A characterization of inefficiency in stochastic overlapping generations economies
In this paper, we provide a characterization of interim inefficiency in stochastic economies of overlapping generations under possibly sequentially incomplete markets. With respect to the established body of results in the literature, we remove the hypothesis of two-period horizons, by considering longer, though uniformly bounded, horizons for generations. The characterization exploits a suitab...
متن کاملSelf-Commitment-Institution and Cooperation in Overlapping Generations Games∗
This paper focuses on a two-period OLG economy with public imperfect observability over the intergenerational cooperative dimension. In this environment we study how a new mechanism, we call Self-Commitment-Institution (SCI), outperforms personal and community enforcement in achieving higher ex-ante effi ciency. If social norms with SCI are implemented, agents might voluntarely exert a perfectl...
متن کاملOrganizations and Overlapping Generations Games: Memory, Communication, and Altruism
This paper studies the role of memory and communication in overlapping generations (OLG) games between ongoing organizations. In each organization, each individual, upon entry into the game, replaces his predecessor who has the same preferences and faces the same strategic possibilities. An individual has no prior memory — that is, he does not directly witness the events that occur before his t...
متن کاملOverlapping Generations Models with Immigration
In this work we develop overlapping generations models (OLG) which explicitly include immigration. In the following, we propose two general equilibrium models. In a first approach, we investigate the effect of a sudden variation in the number of immigrants on the host country to shed light on the welfare effects of immigration for the various generations of the host country’s population. Subseq...
متن کاملCytoplasmic incompatibility in populations with overlapping generations.
Many insects and other arthropods harbor maternally inherited bacteria inducing "cytoplasmic incompatibility" (CI), reduced egg hatch when infected males mate with uninfected females. CI-causing infections produce a frequency-dependent reproductive advantage for infected females. However, many such infections impose fitness costs that lead to unstable equilibrium frequencies below which the inf...
