In this paper, we analyze a heterogeneous agent model in which the fundamental exchange rate is endogenously determined by the real markets. The exchange rate market and the real markets are linked through the balance of payments. We have analytically found that there exists at least a steady...

We study a procurement auction recently analysed by Gal-Or et al. (2007). In this auction game the buyer ranks different bids on the basis of both the prices submitted and the quality of each bidder that is her private information. We emphasise the similarity between this model and existing...

We consider a single-period financial market model with normally distributed returns and the presence of heterogeneous agents. Specifically, some investors are classical Expected Utility Maximizers whereas some others follow Cumulative Prospect Theory. Using well-known functional forms for the...

Starting from the theory of portfolio selection under Cumulative Prospect Theory (CPT) in a one period model, we firstly present some remarks connected with the violation of the so-called loss aversion in the case of power utility functions. The main contribution of this paper comes from the...

This note identifies and fixes a minor gap in Proposition 1 in Barberis and Huang (2008). Assuming homogeneous Cumulative Prospect Theory decision makers, we show that CAPM is a necessary (though not sufficient) condition that must hold in equilibrium. We support our result with numerical...

The purpose of the present paper is to highlight some features of global dynamics of the two-sector growth model with accumulation of human and physical capital analyzed by Brito and Venditti, which is a specification of the model proposed by Mulligan and Sala-i-Martin. In particular, our...

In this paper we deal with an Overlapping Generations Model with production under three diverse assumptions about agents rationality; rational, adaptive and myopic expectations. We determine a uniqueness condition for stationary steady states in the model with perfect foresight which rests on...

In this paper we use global analysis techniques to investigate an economic growth model with environmental negative externalities, giving rise to a three-dimensional dynamic system (the framework is the one introduced by Wirl (1997)). The dynamics of our model admits a locally attracting steady...
