Indeterminacy with Non-separable Utility
J. Benhabib and R. E. A. Farmer (1994, J. Econ. Theory 63, 19 41) showed that a single sector growth model in the presence of increasing returns-to-scale may display an indeterminate equilibrium if the demand and supply curves cross with the ``wrong slopes.'' We generalize their result to a model with preferences that are nonseparable in consumption and leisure. We provide a simple analog of th...
متن کاملGeneric Determinacy of Equilibria with Local Substitution
Consumption of a good at one point in time is a substitute for consumption of the same good an instant earlier or later. Utility functions which conform to this fact must necessarily be non-time separable, as Hindy, Huang, and Kreps show. When agents’ utility functions are non-time separable in the required way, the price space consists of semimartingales with an absolutely continuous compensat...
متن کاملIndeterminacy and Uniqueness in a Growth Model with Non-separable Utility
In this paper, we study the equilibrium dynamics of an endogenous growth model with endogenous fertility choice. We show that the model may have a unique equilibrium which is globally determinate. Mathematics Subject Classification: 49Q99, 91B62
متن کاملUtility representation of lower separable preferences
Topological separability is crucial for the utility representation of a complete preference relation. When preferences are incomplete, this axiom has suitably de ned counterparts: upper separability and lower separability (Ok (2002)). We consider the problem of representing an incomplete preference relation by means of a vector-valued utility function; we obtain representation results under the...
متن کاملSeparable Utility Functions in Dynamic Economic Models
In this note we study properties of utility functions suitable for performance evaluation of dynamic economic models under uncertainty. At first, we summarize basic properties of utility functions, at second we show how exponential utility functions can be employed in dynamic models where not only expectation but also the risk are considered. Special attention is focused on properties of the ex...
