This paper shows, in the benchmark one-sector Ramsey model, that indeterminacy and sunspots may occur when … the results are the general formulations of both preferences and technology that we consider. In particular, indeterminacy … positively sloped, indeterminacy does not necessarily require the equilibrium wage-hours locus to be upward sloping. Copyright …

I introduce habit formation into an otherwise standard overlapping generations economy with pure exchange populated by three-period-lived agents. Habits are modeled in such a way that current consumption increases the marginal utility of future consumption. With logarithmic utility functions, I...

We combine and strengthen optimality and robustness theorems for the overlapping-generations model of money. Roughly, we find a Pareto-optimal monetary equilibrium of a generic stationary economy that is near an optimal monetary equilibrium of each nearby non-stationary economy. Since the nearby...

Consider the set of probability measures on a product space with the property that all have the same marginal distributions on the coordinate spaces. This set may be viewed as a correspondence, when the marginal distributions are varied. Here, it is shown that this correspondence is continuous....

We present a method of calculating the maximal eigenvalue of an indecomposable nonnegative matrix, which is based on ideas of geometric programming. In addition to that, we obtain estimates for elements of an indecomposable nonnegative matrix by its spectral radius. The results make it possible...
