i n the past decades, the effect of different tax amendments on various economic issues has been studied. the majority of these studies have avoided considering shadow economy as part of the calculation and analysis, and an issue, which has received little attention, is the relationship between green tax reforms and shadow economy, as for informal labor, which is well-connected to unemployment ...

using the quarterly data of 1990:1 to 2008:1 and in a general equilibrium approach, we investigate the long run equilibrium path of the equilibrium interest rate as well as the potential output. we implement a structural reduced form of a general equilibrium model consistent with iran’s economy and estimate the unobservable variables by employing the kalman filtering technique. a exponential ut...

This paper presents a general approximation method for characterizing timevarying equilibrium portfolios in a two-country dynamic general equilibrium model. The method can be easily adapted to most dynamic general equilibrium models, it applies to environments in which markets are complete or incomplete, and it can be used for models of any dimension. Moreover, the approximation provides simple...

Oil price shocks are the major source of economic instability in oil exporting developing countries, including Iran. In this paper a Multi Sector Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium model, with emphasis on optimization of oil sector as a producing sector is designed. Furthermore, an optimizing import sector is introduced into the model by considering the price rigidity in imported goods as a...

sensitivity analysis with respect to the functional forms provides estimates of the uncertainties involved in choosing a specific functional structure. this is vital in cge modeling where it is conventional to take elasticities from other studies. in the present study, the robustness of model results with respect to the functional form is checked. in one scenario, the production function is rep...

We study a general equilibrium model with endogenous human capital formation in which ex ante identical groups may be treated asymmetrically in equilibrium. The interaction between an informational externality and general equilibrium effects creates incentives for groups to specialize. Discrimination may arise even if the corresponding model with a single group has a unique equilibrium. The dom...

Green and Lin study a version of the Diamond-Dybvig model with a finite number of agents, independent determination of each agent’s type (impatient or patient), and sequential service. For special preferences, they show that the ex ante first-best allocation is the unique equilibrium outcome of the model with private information about types. For general preferences, we show, via a simple argume...

We combine general equilibrium theory and théorie générale of stochastic processes to derive structural results about equilibrium state prices. JEL Classification: D51, D91, G10, G12

We present a General Equilibrium model with incomplete markets in which assets pay in units of a single good. In our model, agents are constrained to negotiate the same amount of assets at different states of the world. Differently from the standard result of economies with real assets, our model shows the existence of real indeterminacy. The presence of multiple equilibria raises issues relate...
