We examine the impact of risk-based portfolio constraints on asset prices in an exchange economy. Constrained agents scale down their portfolio and behave locally like power utility investors with risk aversion that depends on current market conditions. The imposition of constraints dampens...

We study a dynamic general equilibrium model with costly-to-short stocks and heterogeneous beliefs. The closed-form solution to the model shows that costly short sales drive a wedge between the valuation of assets that promise identical cash flows but are subject to different trading...

In the present paper a tractable two-sector neo-classical growth model with heterogeneous agents is considered. The local dynamic properties of the equilibrium path are analyzed in relation with the underlying characteristics of the economy. In particular, the existence of fluctuations is...

We provide a microfounded account of imperfect information in a dynamic general equilibrium model by describing heterogeneous households that acquire information only through their participation in markets. Thus incomplete markets will imply incomplete information. We solve the model taking full...

In this paper we consider the entry and exit of Örms in a dynamic general equilibrium model with capital. At the Örm level, there is a Öxed cost combined with increasing marginal cost, which gives a standard U-shaped cost curve with optimal Örm size. Entry is determined by a free entry...

In this paper we consider the entry and exit of RMS in a dynamic general equilibrium model with capital and a XED labour supply. At the firm level, there is a XED cost combined with increasing marginal cost, which gives a standard U-shaped cost curve with optimal firm size. At the aggregate...

Using a unique German firm-level data set, this paper is the first to jointly study the cyclical properties of the cross-sections of firm-level real value added and Solow residual innovations, as well as capital and employment adjustment. We find two new business cycle facts: 1) The...
