Essays on Economies with Heterogenous Interacting Consumers
This essay contributes to the discussion about the representative agent’s ability to characterize the collection of agents. I perform two exercises in context of a fairly general multi-product multi-agent environment and show that in order the representative agent to be able to describe the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of the society additional assumptions are required. It is established that th...
متن کاملStochastic Optimal Growth with Unbounded Shock
This paper considers a neoclassical optimal growth problem where the shock that perturbs the economy in each time period is potentially unbounded on the state space. Sufficient conditions for existence, uniqueness and stability of equilibria are derived in terms of the primitives of the model using recent techniques from the field of perturbed dynamical systems.

متن کاملExtinction versus unbounded growth
Certain Markov processes, or deterministic evolution equations, have the property that they are dual to a stochastic process that exhibits extinction versus unbounded growth, i.e., the total mass in such a process either becomes zero, or grows without bounds as time tends to infinity. If this is the case, then this phenomenon can often be used to determine the invariant measures, or fixed point...
متن کاملRisk-neutral firms can extract unbounded profits from consumers with prospect theory preferences
This paper considers the problem of a risk-neutral firm offering a gamble to consumers with preferences given by prospect theory. Under conditions satisfied by virtually all functional forms used in the literature, firms can extract arbitrarily high expected values from consumers. Moreover, for any given lottery, there exists another lottery that makes both the firm and the consumer better off....
متن کاملOn the Global Stability of Optimal Unbounded Growth Models
This study proves various global stability results for unbounded optimal growth models. The main theorem states that any optimal path converges into the neighborhood of a balanced growth path if future utility is sufficiently weakly discounted. The assumptions allow for non-smooth technologies, joint production, and production in independent sectors. Hence, the results form the integration of n...
