We study an overlapping generation model of Diamond's type. In contrast to Diamond, we do not assume that the technology can be represented by an aggregate neoclassical production function. Rather, we study the case in which (i) the technology consists of a finite number of constant coefficient...

In a general economy of overlapping generations, I introduce a notion of uniform ine±ciency, corresponding to the occurrence of a Pareto improvement with a small uniform destruction of resources (Debreu [11]). I provide necessary and su±cient conditions for uniform ine±ciency in terms of...
