This paper studies competitive equilibria of a production economy with aggregate productivity shocks and with a continuum of consumers subject to borrowing constraints and individual labor endowment shocks. The dynamic economy is described in terms of sequences of aggregate distributions. The...

linearized incomplete markets model, enriched to incorporate risk- sharing while maintaining tractability. Our estimates suggest … that taking risk sharing into account is important for the model fit; that the increase in inequality in the 1980s was … mainly permanent; and that inequality is driven almost entirely by idiosyncratic income risk. In addition we find no evidence …

In this paper we extend the results of recent studies on the existence of equilibrium in finite dimensional asset markets for both bounded and unbounded economies. We do not assume that the individual's preferences are complete or transitive. Our existence theorems for asset markets allow for...

The estimation of the discount rate for an investment project in conditions of risk relies upon two crucial assumptions …-diversified investors in emerging markets, while it is necessary to use a hurdle rate based on the project total risk for the case of non …

A so-called “asset market meltdown hypothesis” predicts that baby boomers’ large savings will drive asset market booms that will eventually collapse because of the boomers’ large retirement dissavings. As good news to baby boomers, our analysis shows that this meltdown hypothesis is...

observation, we incorporate inflation risk and default risk to the Mehra and Presscott (1985) dynamic asset pricing model …. Calibration with reasonable parameter values indicate that the inflation risk alone is not sufficient to explain the observed bond …

Modern aggregation theory and index number theory were introduced into monetary economics by Barnett (1980). The widely … used Divisia monetary aggregates were based upon that paper. A key result upon which the rest of the theory depended was … aggregation. The extension of that literature to risk with intertemporally non-separable preferences now has become available in a …
