Overlapping Generations Model of General Equilibrium By
نویسندگان
چکیده
The OLG model of Allais and Samuelson retains the methodological assumptions of agent optimization and market clearing from the Arrow–Debreu model, yet its equilibrium set has different properties: Pareto inefficiency, multiplicity, positive valuation of money, and a golden rule equilibrium in which the rate of interest is equal to population growth (independent of impatience). These properties are shown to derive not from market incompleteness, but from lack of market clearing ‘at infinity’: they can be eliminated with land or uniform impatience. The OLG model is used to analyse bubbles, social security, demographic effects on stock returns, the foundations of monetary theory, Keynesian vs. real business cycle macromodels, and classical vs. neoclassical disputes.

Investigating the risk-taking behavior of the banking industry in the form of the general equilibrium model of overlapping generations (OLG)
In this paper, using a general equilibrium model of overlapping generations, the impact of different financing plans of the banking industry on their risk-taking motivation is investigated. In the non-competitive banking industry, financing is done by imposing taxes on the older generation or the bankchr('39')s internal resources (bank shares). As an effective policy, this action optimizes soci...
متن کاملAn integral equation representation for overlapping generations in continuous time
This paper develops a method for solving for the dynamic general equilibrium of a deterministic continuous time overlapping generations model with a finite-horizon life-cycle. The model has isoelastic preferences and allows for general assumptions about individual endowments and demographics. Solving for an equilibrium reduces to solving a nonlinear integral equation. In the special case of log...
متن کاملAppropriate Labor income and Capital gain tax rates functions extraction based on Overlapping Generation Models: Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) approach
In this study, using the overlapping generation (OLG (model and the Stochastic Dynamic General Equilibrium (DSGE) approach, the optimal form of labor income tax rate and capital income tax functions is extracted for the economy of Iran using annual time series data during 1357 to 1397. The results of comparing the calibration and simulation of the designed model show that the optimal functions ...
متن کاملAdministrative rationing and multiple equilibria
In this paper, we introduce non-interest profit/loss sharing (PLS) banks into a three-period overlapping generations model. Two types, (low- and high quality) investments are assumed and capital accumulation and level of output in the steady state is considered. Then, administrative rationing is introduced to the model. It is shown that the level of capital accumulation and output in equilibriu...
متن کاملGlobalization, Trade Adjustment and Gradualism: An Exploratory Note in a Ricardian model with Overlapping Generations
Henry Wan, Jr. and Yinggang Zhou Cornell University May 2005 Abstract A general equilibrium model is set up for the entire trading world with overlapping generations, where the initial sector-specific age distribution of labor makes the impact of trade liberalization beneficial for some and detrimental to others, while allocation efficiency is improved. Und...
متن کاملDivision of the Humanities and Social Sciences California Institute of Technology Pasadena, California 91125 an Overlapping Generations Model Core Equivalence Theorem
The classical Debreu-Scarf core equivalence theorem asserts that in an exchange economy with a finite number of agents art allocation (under certain conditions) is a Walrasian equilibrium if and only if it belongs to the core of every replica of the exchange economy. The pioneering work of P. Samuelson has shown that such a result fails to be true in exchange economies with a countable number o...
