For overlapping-generations models with multiple assets and without labour, welfare assessments of equilibrium allocations depend on whether the certainty equivalents of the one-period-ahead marginal rates of return on assets that are held are larger or smaller than the population growth rate....

For overlapping-generations models with multiple assets and without labour, welfare assessments of equilibrium allocations depend on whether the certainty equivalents of the one-period-ahead marginal rates of return on assets that are held are larger or smaller than the population growth rate....

The paper gives conditions for effi ciency and ineffi ciency of equilibrium allocations in an overlapping-generations model with a constant rate of population growth and with multiple assets, but without labour. Optimal portfolio choice implies that, for any period and history up to that period,...
