چکیده
This paper addresses the e ects of indeterminacy on the volatility of asset prices in a stochastic overlapping generations model with 3-period lived agents. With complete markets, the only indeterminacy is due to the selection of initial conditions for the economy. As with deterministic economies, the equilibrium set converges to the steady state in the long run. With incomplete markets, not only do the initial conditions introduce indeterminacy, but additionally each period a continuum of state price vectors can be selected as equilibrium continuation values. This additional indeterminacy in each period generates long-run price behavior that depends on both the fundamentals of the economy and the endogenous price expectations of agents. Using our innovative computational methodology, we characterize the entire set of sequential equilibria for an incomplete markets economy. Our numerical simulations suggest that asset price volatility has substantial welfare e ects, persists in the long run, and is primarily driven by the endogenous price expectations of agents and not by endowment risk.

This paper analyzes GATI' and its dispute settlement procedure (DSP) in the context of a supergame model of international trade featuring both explicit and implicit agreements. An explicit agreement, such as OAT!', may be violated at some positive cost in addition to retaliatory actions that might be induced by the violation. We interpret this cost as arising from 'international obligation," a ...

We formulate and prove a modification of Eilenberg-Montgomery fixed-point theorem, which is a generalization of Kakutani’s theorem. It enables us to provide a direct proof of the existence of perfect equilibria in finite normal form games and extensive games with perfect recall. We construct a correspondence whose fixed points are precisely the perfect equilibria of a given finite game. Existen...

We study cooperation in four-person economies of indefinite duration. Subjects interact anonymously playing a prisoner’s dilemma. We identify and characterize the strategies employed at the aggregate and at the individual level. We find that (i) grim trigger well describes aggregate play, but not individual play; (ii) individual behavior is persistently heterogeneous; (iii) coordination on coop...
