This paper strengthens the Hopenhayn-Prescott stability theorem for monotone economies by extending it to a significantly larger class of models. We provid general conditions for existence, uniqueness and stability of stationary distributions. The conditions in our main result are both necessary...

In equilibrium models of firm dynamics, the stationary equilibrium distribution of firms summarizes the predictions of the model for a given set of primitives. Focusing on Hopenhayn's seminal model of firm dynamics with entry and exit (Econometrica, 60:5, 1992, p. 1127–1150), we provide an...
