A Stationary Markov Equilibrium in an OLG Model
This paper provides sufficient conditions on the technology and preferences, under which the optimal savings-consumption policy is unique, and a stationary Markov equilibrium exists for an overlapping generation economy. Comparing with Wang (1993), our conditions on the uniqueness of optimal policy function are more general, and our conditions on the existence of equilibria depend on the exogen...
متن کاملLecture 1: OLG Models
– Presence of retired people (ie too old to work) implies a strong motive for saving – Competitive equilibrium is not always Pareto-Optimal, due to presence of an initial old generation. ∗ in absence of time-0 trading, initial old agents must consume their endowment, therefore young people must also consume theirs. – Potential role for money or government transfers to restore efficiency – Model...
متن کاملRecursive equilibrium in stochastic OLG economies∗
We prove generic existence of recursive equilibrium for overlapping generations economies with uncertainty. Generic here means in a residual set of utilities and endowments. The result holds provided there is sufficient intragenerational household heterogeneity.
متن کاملDynamic Efficiency and Pareto Optimality in a Stochastic OLG Model with Production and Social Security
We analyze the interaction between risk sharing and capital accumulation in a stochastic OLG model with production. We give a complete characterization of interim Pareto optimality. Our characterization also subsumes equilibria with a PAYG social security system. In a competitive equilibrium interim Pareto optimality is equivalent to intergenerational exchange e¢ciency, which in turn implies dy...
متن کاملA Note on Equilibrium Leadership in Tax Competition Models ∗
This paper reexamines the work of Kempf and Rota-Graziosi (J. Pub. Econ. 94: 768-776, 2010), which shows that leadership by the small region is the risk dominant equilibrium under the endogenous timing game. They obtain this result in a model where the asymmetry among countries translates into different gradients of the demand for capital but identical vertical intercept. In this note, we simpl...
