We assess the usefulness of stochastic redistribution among a continuum of risk-averse agents with quasilinear utilities in labor. Agents differ according to their consumption tastes, which remain private information. We identify circumstances where stochastic redistribution is socially...

We consider optimal anonymous consumption taxes in situations where the magnitude of an externality varies with individuals who cause it. For instance, urban fuel consumers generate greater pollution damages compared to rural consumers, but both groups are subjected to the same fuel tax. We...

This paper studies relationships between the determinacy of a stationary equilibrium in the perfect foresight dynamics, and its local stability in dynamics arising from econometric learning procedures. There is no clear links in linear scalar economies where agents forecast only one perods...

Bubble solutions of rational expectations models are identified by extra components that arise in addition to market fundamentals. In general there still exist many equilibrium paths relying on a minimal set of state variables, i.e., along which the number of lags that influence the current...

This paper studies relationships between the local determinacy of a stationary equilibrium in the perfect foresight dynamics, and its local stability in dynamics arising from econometric learning procedures. There is no clear links in linear scalar economieds where agents forecast only one...

This paper studies the relationships between determinacy and stability under recurdive learning of rational expectations equilibria. The analysis is carried out within a non-stochastic linear temporary general equilibrium framework with predetermined variables (or memory). Determinacy of the...

This paper analyses an example of nonstationary stochastic endogenous fluctuations. It studies the existence of Markovian sunspot equilibria on the rates of growth in a linear one step forward looking economy with one predetermined variable. It is shown that asymptotically stable stochastic...
