OVERLAPPING GENERATIONS MODELS OF GENERAL EQUILIBRIUM By
نویسنده
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, indeterminacy, 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 analyze bubbles, social security, demographic effects on stock returns, the foundations of monetary theory, Keynesian vs. real business cycle macromodels, and classical vs. neoclassical

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 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 کاملMathematical Models in Economics
The chapter provides a concise discussion of the role of mathematics in economic theory. After a brief overview of the main applications of the mathematical methods to economic problems, the chapter focuses on general equilibrium theory in its atemporal and intertemporal versions and discusses the concepts of equilibrium and dynamics in natural sciences and economics. In this context, business ...
متن کاملEquilibrium for Overlapping Generations in Continuous Time
We prove the existence of general equilibrium for continuous-time overlappinggenerations models. Previous theorems exclude all non-linear C.E.S. and von Neumann Morgenstern preferences and exclude production. Our primitive assumptions are satisfied by such preferences and by all Markovian production technologies satisfying Bewley's assumptions for Arrow Debreu models provided that storage is po...
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 کاملIndeterminacy and Asset Price Volatility in Stochastic Overlapping Generations Models∗
This paper addresses the e ects of indeterminacy on the volatility of asset prices in a stochastic overlapping generations model with 3-period lived agents. With complete markets, indeterminacy is characterized by the initial conditions and all equilibria converge to one of the deterministic steady states in the long run. With incomplete markets, the degree of indeterminacy is countably innite....
