Search, Market Power, and Inflation Dynamics

Head, Allen; Lapham, Beverly - Society for Economic Dynamics - SED - 2006

The short-run non-neutrality of money and its implications for inflation dynamics are examined in a monetary search economy with heterogeneous agents. Lump-sum money injections affect the distribution of money holdings in equilibrium and thus generate short-run non-neutrality. The response of...

Strategic Trading with Market Closures

Boulatov, Alex; Livdan, Dmitry - Society for Economic Dynamics - SED - 2006

This paper analyzes the equilibrium trading strategies of informed traders in the presence of market closures defined as periodic predictable stops of trading. We construct a dynamic auction model based on rational strategic behavior with asymmetric information across the agents. Empirical...

Trading favors: optimal exchange and forgiveness.

Hopenhayn, Hugo A.; Hauser, Christine - Society for Economic Dynamics - SED - 2004

This paper characterizes optimal renegotiation proof public perfect equilibrium in a repeated partnership game. The model was originally introduced by Mobius. Players have random arrival of endowments which are privately observed that are more valued by the partner than the player receiving the...

Firm-Specific Training

Harris, Christopher; Felli, Leonardo - Society for Economic Dynamics - SED - 2004

This paper introduces two complementary models of firm-specific training: an informational model and a productivity-enhancement model. In both models, market provision of firm-specific training is inefficient. However, the nature of the inefficiency depends on the balance between the two key...

The Effects of Market Structure on Industry Growth

Koulovatianos, Christos; Mirman, Leonard J. - Society for Economic Dynamics - SED - 2004

We study the behavior of firms in an imperfectly competitive environment in which firms influence the evolution of the stock of capital equipment. Our model enables us, using analytical characterizations, to show the effect of key ingredients of dynamic competition on firm strategies and...

Estimating Dynamic Models of Imperfect Competition

Levin, J.; Bajari, P. - Society for Economic Dynamics - SED - 2004

We describe a two-step algorithm for estimating dynamic games under the assumption that behavior is consistent with Markov Perfect Equilibrium. In the first step, the policy functions and the law of motion for the state variables are estimated. In the second step, the remaining structural...

Household Debt and Income Inequality, 1963-2003

Iacoviello, Matteo - Society for Economic Dynamics - SED - 2006

I construct a heterogeneous agents economy that mimics the time-series behavior of the US earnings distribution from 1963 to 2003. Agents face aggregate and idiosyncratic shocks and accumulate real and financial assets. I estimate the shocks driving the model using data on income inequality, on...
