Abstract In this paper we use a modified neoclassical business cycle model to test two competing explanations of the expansion of the 1990s. The model can have indeterminate, multiple equilibria that give rise to expectation-driven business cycles. We fit into the model series of estimated...

This article proves that periodic trajectories are generically impossible in a class of continuous-time growth models that allow a locally indeterminate steady state. Those models reducible to the two-dimensional Lotka-Volterra system of equations constitute the class considered here. Knowledge...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the extent to which a flexible exchange rate system is able to function given a least developed economy where financial markets are inactive and economic growth is low. Design/methodology/approach – A theoretical general equilibrium model is...

sunspots exist, and under another information assumption, that they exist only for a very small part of the indeterminacy … bivariate reduced form contains parameter regions in which sunspots are stable under learning. However, for parameters … restricted to those generated by standard models of indeterminacy, we find, under one information assumption, that no stable …

Recently, it has been claimed that full-information multiple equilibria in games with strategic complementarities are not robust, because generalizing to allow slightly heterogeneous information implies uniqueness. This paper argues that this "global games" uniqueness result is itself not...

Capacity constraints on production have major effects on a standard monopoly, a monopoly that price discriminates between two submarkets, and a monopoly that sells in two submarkets and faces a price control in only one.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate rural people's perception of income adequacy in order to understand how it is affected by income in the county where the respondent lives, age of household members, as well as number of household members. The paper also aims to find out how...
