In this paper, we study the intertemporal equilibria of an infinite-lived representative agent model with public debt. We show that for a given path of government expenditures, there generally exist a continuum of equilibria depending on various debt policies.

This paper is a study of money in overlapping generations models with cash-in-advance constraints a la Champ and Freeman and Hahn and Solow. We first offer a brief review of different features of the cash-in-advance constraint. Then we propose a general formulation. We show that neutrality of...

This paper shows that it is possible to extend the scope of the existence of rational bubbles when uncertainty is introduced associated with rank-dependent expected utility. This RDU assumption can be viewed as a transformation of probabilities depending on the pessimism/optimism of the agent....

This note presents a model in which pension funds, by holding a signifiant share of capital assets, can exert a non competitive behavior on labor market. This leads to lower wages and higher capital returns, and can reduce capital accumulation and Long-run welfare.

L'objet de cet article est d'approfondir la question de la definition de la solvabilite de l'Etat. A la question, jusqu'où l'Etat peut-il s'endetter ? nous repondons que l'endettement public acceptable, ne conduisant pas à la faillite, est celui qui reste compatible avec un fonctionnement...

This paper studies the equilibrium dynamics of an overlapping generations model with capital, money and cash-in-advance constraints. At each date the economy can experience two different regimes. In the first one the cash-in-advance constraint is binding and money is a dominated asset. In the...
