Consider a pure exchange OLG economy under stationary Markov uncertainty with one good and with sequentially complete markets. It is known that an interior stationary equilibrium allocation at which the agents common matrix of intertemporal rates of substitution has a Perron root which is less...

We consider pure exchange, one good OLG economies under stationary Markov uncertainty. It is known that when markets are sequentially complete, a stationary equilibrium at which the agents common matrix of intertemporal rates of substitution has a Perron root which is less than or equal to one...

In the present paper the study of the welfare effects of endowment transfers is extended to the set of steady states of a general stationary overlapping generation model. A complete characterization of manipulations by coalitions and transfers which leads to welfare paradoxes is provided.

Like in many other OECD countries, the population will age rapidly in Germany during the next decades. This undermines the future sustainability of the current unfunded public pension system and motivates the search for reform options. The present paper aimes to evaluate some currently discussed...

For a general class of pure exchange OLG economies under uncertainty, we provide a complete characterization of the efficency properties of competitive equilibria when markets are only sequentially complete and the criterion of efficency is conditional Pareto optimality. We also consider a...

In a model of overlapping generations with a continuum of finitely lived individuals, the aggregate price dynamics is characterized by a functional differential equation of mixed type. Delays and advances are exogenous when age at retirement is mandatory; they become state-dependent when...

In this paper, we modify the model of Benhabib and Laroque in which the behaviour of non steady-state equilibria in the neighborhood of the golden rule steady state are studied, to include liquidity constraints. We observe, in an example, the appearance of new cycles.
