The enlargement of the general-equilibrium structure to allow default subject to penalties results in a construction of a simple mechanism for selecting a unique competitive equilibrium. We consider economies for which a common credit money can be applied to uniquely select any competitive...

The enlargement of the general-equilibrium structure to allow default subject to penalties to appririate credit limits and default penalties results in a construction of a simple mechanism for a credit using society. We show that there generically exists a price-normalizing bundle that...

A credit mechanism is considered that selects a unique competitive equilibrium (CE) of an exchange economy. It is shown that a price normalization calling for a fixed monetary value for the total wealth in the economy and the addition of appropriate default penalties together result in a...

This paper considers a credit mechanism for selecting a unique competitive equilibrium (CE). It is shown that in general there exists a quot;price-normalizingquot; bundle, with which the enlargement of the general-equilibrium structure to allow for default subject to appropriate penalties...

A credit mechanism is considered that selects a unique competitive equilibrium (CE) of an exchange economy. It is shown that a price normalization calling for a fixed monetary value for the total wealth in the economy and the addition of appropriate default penalties together result in a...

We prove that a two-cycle equilibrium in a general equilibrium model with infinitely-lived agents also constitutes an equilibrium in an overlapping generations (OLG) model. Conversely, an equilibrium in an OLG model that satisfies additional conditions is part of an equilibrium in a general...

We show that both real indeterminacy and asset price bubble may appear in an infinite-horizon exchange economy with infinitely lived agents and an imperfect financial market. We clarify how the asset structure and heterogeneity (in terms of preferences and endowments) affect the existence and...

The effect of incomplete information on the term structure of interest rates is examined in the framework of a pure exchange economy under uncertainty. When the growth rate of the aggregate endowment is known, the term structure is flat and deterministic. When agents do not observe the...

In a simple infinite-horizon exchange economy with a single consumption good and a financial asset, real indeterminacy and asset price bubble may arise. We show how heterogeneity (in terms of preferences, endowments) and short-sale constraints affect the emergence and the dynamics of asset price...
