This paper develops a theory of oligopoly and markups in general equilibrium. Firms compete in a network of product market rivalries that emerges endogenously out of the characteristics of the products and services they supply. My model embeds a novel, highly tractable and scalable demand system...

The author assesses the factors that determine market interest rates and the equilibrium conditions with respect to aggregate desired borrowings and savings. According to gain-loss utility, aggregate desired borrowings and savings are in equilibrium when market interest rates equal the...

An informal model is described that leads to multiple macroeconomic equilibria as a consequence of random variation in the relative amounts of technological change for new and existing goods. The novel observation is that the rate of introduction and market penetration of new goods vis-a-vis...
