We analyze how the preference structure and the structure of production possibilities in the monetary economy can lead to a variety of distributions of special and standard goods produced in the economy

As inflation decreases, agents are induced to participate less frequently in the … centralized liquidity market, leading to a lower velocity of money, a smaller liquidity market, fewer resources spent on market … participation and higher heterogeneity in money holdings across agents. The welfare costs of inflation implied are different from …

This paper investigates the welfare and output effects of inflation in a monetary economy with search frictions and sticky prices. Agents trade in both a centralized Walrasian market and a decentralized search market. Trade has two dimensions: the frequency of trades (how often agents trade) and...

We propose an approximation method for analyzing Ericson and Pakes (1995)-style dynamic models of imperfect competition. We develop a simple algorithm for computing an ``oblivious equilibrium,'' in which each firm is assumed to make decisions based only on its own state and knowledge of the long...

This paper develops a relatively simple method for computing the Markov Perfect Equilibria of dynamic games with asymmetric information (see Maskin and Tirole (1992, 2001)). We consider a class of dynamic games in which there is finite number of active players in each period, each characterized...
