In this paper we explorer the computation and simulation of stochastic overlapping generation (OLG) models. To do so we compute all Markovian equilibria adopting a recently developed numerical algorithm. Among the models we studied, the inde- terminacy in deterministic OLG model results in many...

This paper analyzes the effects of time-consistent capital taxation on the level of capital and welfare. We find that a commitment to a zero capital tax shifts the time inconsistency problem towards labor taxes and the provision of public consumption. By comparing the worst time-consistent...

The overlapping generations economy may have a continuum of equilibria. Previous studies have been largely confined to the local analysis that linearizes the model around the steady state. However, what is true of the linearized system only applies for an unknown-sized open neighborhood of the...
