Are Dynamically Inefficient Equilibria Learnable?
We consider the stability under adaptive learning dynamics of steady state equilibria in Diamond’s (1965) overlapping generations growth model with capital and money. Interior steady state equilibria of this model can be either dynamically inefficient or dynamically efficient. We show that a necessary condition for an equilibrium of this model to be stable under adaptive learning is that the eq...
متن کاملInefficient equilibria in lobbying
Lobbying is often represented as a common agency game. Common agency games typically have multiple equilibria. One class of equilibria, called truthful, has been identified by Bernheim and Whinston [Quarterly Journal of Economics 1986;101(1):1–31]. In this paper, we identify another class of equilibria, which we call natural, in which each principal offers a positive contribution on at most one...
متن کاملThe effect of exceptional parental longevity on life expectancy.
To the Editor: The literature shows that children of centenarians live longer than their ageand sex-matched peers in the general population, yet to the knowledge of the authors of the current letter there has been no estimate of the difference in life expectancy between these groups. This is documented here, based on both an analysis of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) Public Use Dataset a...
متن کاملInefficient Markov perfect equilibria in multilateral bargaining
We study a complete-information alternating-offer bargaining game in which one “active” player bargainswith each of a number of other “passive” players one at a time. In contrast to most existing models, the order of reaching agreements is endogenously determined, hence the active player can “play off” some passive players against others bymoving back and forth bargainingwith the passive player...
متن کاملMeasuring Time Preference and Parental Altruism
This paper extends a heterogeneous agent overlapping generations model by implementing bequests 2 both altruistic and accidental 2 and measures the degrees of time preference and parental altruism through the calibration of the model to the U.S. economy. In this model, a parent household and its adult child households behave consistently and strategically to determine their optimal consumption,...
