We provide a unified approach to stochastic dynamic programming with recursive utility based on an elementary application of Tarski's Fixed Point Theorem. We establish that the exclusive source of multiple values is the presence of multiple recursive utilities consistent with the given...

Money provides liquidity services through a cash-in-advance constraint. The exchange of commodities and assets extends over an infinite horizon under uncertainty and a sequentially complete asset market. Monetary policy sets the path of rates of interest and accommodates the demand for balances...

In a general economy of overlapping generations, I introduce a notion of uniform inefficiency, corresponding to the occurrence of a Pareto improvement with a small uniform destruction of resources [G. Debreu, The coefficient of resource utilization, Econometrica 19 (1951) 273-292]. I provide a...
