It is shown that in any affine space of payoff matrices the equilibrium payoffs of bimatrix games are generically finite.

In order to have references for discussing mathematical menus in political science, I review the most common types of mathematical formulae used in physics and chemistry, as well as some mathematical advances in economics. Several issues appear relevant: variables should be well defined and...

We illustrate how simulation--based techniques can be used to formally evaluate the fit of a … real business cycle literature, i.e. whether a model with complete financial markets and no restrictions to capital …

When the behaviour of a specific hypothesis test statistic is studied by a Monte Carlo experiment, the usual way to describe its quality is by giving the empirical level of the test. As an alternative to this procedure, we use the empirical distribution of the obtained \emph{p-}values and...

We discuss some practical issues related to the use of the Parameterized Expectations Approach (PEA) for solving non-linear stochastic dynamic models with rational expectations. This approach has been applied in models of macroeconomics, financial economics, economic growth, contract theory,...

In this paper we study the welfare impact of alternative tax schemes on labor and capital. We evaluate the e_ect of lowering capital income taxes on the distribution of wealth in a model with heterogeneous agents, restricting our attention to policies with constant tax rates. We calibrate and...

We study the quantitative properties of a dynamic general equilibrium model in which agents face both idiosyncratic and aggregate income risk, state-dependent borrowing constraints that bind in some but not all periods and markets are incomplete. Optimal individual consumption -savings plans and...
