In this paper we study the existence of bubbles for pricing equilibria in a pure exchange economy a la Lucas, with infinitely lived homogeneous agents. The model is analyzed under fairly general assumptions: no restrictions either on the stochastic process governing dividends' distribution or on...

This note proves existence of a unique equilibrium in a Lucas (1978) economy when the utility function displays constant relative risk aversion and log dividends follow a normally distributed AR(1) process with positive auto-correlation. In particular, the note provides restrictions on the...

We provide a simple model of credit rationing with endogenous occupational chioce. Entrepreneurial talent is subject to private information and to screen borrowers banks ask for collateral. The interplay between the labour market and the credit market leads to multiple equilibria in a natural...

This paper analyses the problem represented by the presence of speculative bubbles on asset prices in general equilibrium models. The main results concerning the existence of solutions in intertemporal general equilibrium models are summarized, then the specific problem of asset pricing is...

After taking into account positive transaction costs via tackling static nonlinear programming with dynamic programming, this paper reaches three main conclusions: 1) The aggregate excess demand function of each market will be discontinuous at many price points, but the transfiguration of the...

In this paper, I study the existence and uniqueness of recursive equilibria in economies with aggregate and idiosyncratic risk. Rather than relying on compactness to establish existence, I exploit the monotonicity property of the equilibrium model and rely on arguments from convex analysis. This...

In an economic model of exchange of goods, the structure can be specified by utility functions. Under utility conditions identified here even more broadly than usual, except for concavity in place of quasi-concavity, every equilibrium will simultaneously be stable with respect to shifts in the...

We introduce differential information in the asset market model studied by Cheng (1991), Dana and Le Van and Le Van and Truong Xuan (2001). We prove an equilibrium existence result assuming that the economy's information structure satisfies the conditional independence property. If private...
