Stabilizing the economy: Market design and general equilibrium

Goeree, Jacob K.; Lindsay, Luke - 2012

Review, 1960). Tatonnement theory predicts that prices are globally unstable for this economy, i.e. unless prices start at … the competitive equilibrium they oscillate without converging. Anderson et al. (Journal of Economic Theory, 2004) report … convergence. We replicate their experiments and confirm that tatonnement theory predicts the direction of price changes remarkably …

Constrained inefficiency in GEI: A geometric argument

Tirelli, Mario - 2005

In this paper we use global analysis to study the welfare properties of general equilibrium economies with incomplete markets (GEI). Our main result is to show that constrained Pareto optimal equilibria are contained in a linear submanifold of the equilibrium set. This result is explicitly...

Existence of arrow-debreu equilibrium with generalized stochastic differential utility

Beißner, Patrick - 2011

This paper establishes, in the setting of Brownian information, a general equilibrium existence result under a stochastic differential formulation of intertemporal recursive utility. The present class of utility functionals is generated by a backward stochastic differential equation and...

Trade and the Internationalization of Production

Kleinert, Jörn - 2002

Whereas many empirical studies show that the internationalization of production is driven by falling distance costs, theoretical models of the endogenous emergence of multinational enterprises predict the opposite. This paper argues that this dichotomy can be resolved if the production process...

Globalization of the World Economy: What Happened in 1985?

Kleinert, Jörn - 2000

This paper brings forward a three-country model to analyze the internationalization process in the age of globalization. It is shown that investment of one company increases not only the incentive to invest in another country for every national competitor but for third country's companies as...

Testing the Modigliani-Miller theorem directly in the lab: a general equilibrium approach

Mahagaonkar, Prashanth; Qiu, Jianying - 2008

In this paper, we experimentally test the Modigliani-Miller theorem. Applying a general equilibrium approach and not allowing for arbitrage among firms with different capital structure, we are able to address a question fundamental to the valuation of firms: does capital structure affect the...

Subsidizing extra jobs: promoting employment by taming the unions

Knabe, Andreas; Schöb, Ronnie - 2007

We study the subsidization of extra jobs in a general equilibrium framework. While the previous literature focuses on symmetric marginal employment subsidies where firms are rewarded when they increase employment but punished when they reduce their workforce, we consider an asymmetric scheme...

Optimal redistributive tax and education policies in general equilibrium

Jacobs, Bas - 2007

Should a redistributive government optimally subsidize education to provoke a reduction in the skill premium through general equilibrium effects on wages? To answer this question, this paper studies optimal linear and non-linear redistributive income taxes and education subsidies in two-type...

Trade retaliation in a monetary-trade model

Whalley, John; Yu, Jun; Zhang, Shunming - 2009

We explore how outcomes of trade policy retaliation (Nash tariff games) are affected when trade simultaneously takes places geographically across countries and through time via financial intermediation. In such models deficits and surpluses in goods trade are endogenously determined, and...

On equilibrium prices in continuous time

Martins-da-Rocha, V. Filipe; Riedel, Frank - 2008

We combine general equilibrium theory and théorie générale of stochastic processes to derive structural results about …
