Models which are built on the assumption of rational expectations can easily outline the conditions under which bubbles may exist but they remain silent on the factors that cause the price to deviate from the fundamental value. In this paper it is argued that dynamic extensions of the noise...

This paper postulates the existence of a growth imperative in capitalist economies. The argument is based on a simple circular flow model of a pure credit economy, where production takes time. In this economy, positive growth rates are necessary in the long run in order to enable firms to make...

It is well known that bubbles possess the potential to increase economic welfare due to a reduction of capital accumulation in deterministic overlapping generations economies that are in a dynamically inefficient state. However, actual economies are stochastic, where the concept of dynamic...
