This paper proves the existence of competitive equilibrium in a single sector dynamic economy with elastic labor supply. The method of proof relies on some recent results (see Le Van and Saglam [2004]) concerning the existence of Lagrange multipliers in infinite dimensional spaces and their...

The paper extends the canonical representative agent Ramsey model to include heterogeneous agents and elastic labor supply. The welfare maximization problem is analyzed and shown to be equivalent to a non-stationary reduced form model. An iterative procedure is exploited to prove the...

We prove the existence of competitive equilibrium in a single-sector dynamic economy with heterogeneous agents and elastic labor supply. The method of proof relies on exploiting the existence of Lagrange multipliers in infinite dimensional spaces and the link between Pareto-optima and...

This paper proves the existence of competitive equilibrium in a single-sector dynamic economy with heterogeneous agents, elastic labor supply and complete assets markets. The method of proof relies on some recent results concerning the existence of Lagrande multipliers in infinite dimensional...

We prove the existence of competitive equilibrium and the moothness of policy function in an optimal growth model with elastic labor supply by using a simple method. Our approach is based on the result of existence of Lagrange multipliers and their representation as a summable sequence due to Le...
