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...

In this survey we review some of the main contributions to the cooperative approach of newsvendor situations. We show how newsvendor situations with several retailers can be modeled as a transferable-utility cooperative game and we concentrate on one solution concept: the core. First we examine...

This paper proves the C1,1 differentiability of the value function for continuous time concave dynamic optimization problems, under the assumption that the instantaneous utility is C1,1 and the initial segment of optimal solutions is interior. From this result, the Lipschitz dependence of...

In this paper, we model an overlapping generation economy affected by an unexpected immigration shock and determine how households would insure themselves against "immigration risks" efficiently. We use the model to study the impact of immigration on (i) the welfare of various generations, (ii)...

In this paper I consider an OLG model with production and a single commodity. I show that in such an environment unbounded growth of income per capita is not possible if the aggregate technology is of the usual constant returns to scale type. This is not due to lack of productivity of the...

We study a general equilibrium model where agents search for production and trading opportunities, that generalizes the existing literature by considering a large number of differentiated commodities and agents with idiosyncratic tastes. Thus, agents must chose nontrivial exchange as well as...

In this paper we study the indeterminacy of equilibria in infinite horizon capital accumulation models with technological externalities. Our investigation encompasses both models with bounded and unbounded accumulation paths, and models with one and two sectors of production. Under reasonable...
