Trade protection remains a prominent feature of the current world economy and likely has significant effects on industries and macroeconomies. In this paper a particular type of policy, price supports, is analyzed in a two-country, dynamic, general equilibrium model. This model brings new...

We examine the responses of prices and inflation to monetary shocks in an inventory-theoretic model of money demand. We … show that the price level responds sluggishly to an exogenous increase in the money stock because the dynamics of … households' money inventories leads to a partially offsetting endogenous reduction in velocity. We also show that inflation …

where agents can hold an arbitrary amount of divisible money and where production is costly. At such an equilibrium, agents …’ money holdings are endogenously determined and uniformly bounded. A refinement of weakly undominated strategies is argued to … be necessary. It is shown that a continuum of single-price equilibria indexed by the aggregate real-money balance exists …

This paper studies the outcome of fully insured random selections among multiple competitive equilibria. This defines an iterative procedure of reallocation which is Pareto improving at each step. The process converges to a unique Pareto optimal allocation in finitely many steps. The key...

We study the existence and robustness of expectationally-driven price volatility in experimental overlapping generation economies. In the theoretical model under study there exist “pure sunspot” equilibria which can be “learned” if agents use some adaptive learning rules. Our data show...
