This paper proves the existence of competitive equilibrium in a single-sector dynamic economy with heterogeneous agents and elastic labor supply. The method of proof relies on some recent results concerning the existence of Lagrange multipliers in infinite dimensional spaces and their...

This paper annalyses the optimal timing of switching between alternative and consecutive regimes on optimal growth models. We derive the appropriate necessary conditions for such problems by means of the standard techniques from calculus of variations and some basic properties of Sobolev spaces.

The international asset pricing models are mostly developed in the situation where purchasing power parity (PPP) is not respected. Investors of dierent countries do not agree on expected security real returns. In this case, an equilibrium on the international assets market may exist but not on...

In this paper, we study the existence of an intertemporal equilibrium in a Ramsey model with heterogenous discounting, elastic labor supply and borrowing constraints. Applying a fixed-point argument by Gale and Mas-Colell (1975), we prove the existence of an equilibrium in a truncated bounded...

We address the fundamental issues of existence and efficiency of an equilibrium in a Ramsey model with many agents, where agents have heterogenous discounting, elastic labor supply and face borrowing constraints. The existence of rational bubbles is also tackled. In the first part, we prove the...

The international asset pricing models are mostly developed in the case of parity failure (investors of di?erent countries do not agree on the expected returns on securities). In this case, an equilibrium in the international asset markets may exist, but not in the international good markets. In...

In transitional stage saving rate play an important role in output growth rate as proposed by Krugman. Accumulationists are also right as claiming that learning-by-doing play an important role in TFP growth in NIEs. However, using a CES production technology we can show that the growth model...
