On Ramsey equilibrium with dependent preferences∗
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper introduces consumption externalities in a one-sector Ramsey model with heterogeneous households and borrowing constraints. Externalities are taken into account by writing that the felicity functions depend on the consumption of all the households of the economy. Focusing on the class of equilibria in which the most patient household owns the whole capital stock, it is proved that there exist non-convergent Ramsey equilibria even though the Maximum Income Monotonicity (MIM) condition holds.

Partnership formation with age-dependent preferences
We analyze a model of partnership formation in which players’ preferences are based on the age of a prospective partner. There are two classes of individuals, called for convenience here male and female. Males and females are fertile for the same length of time, normalized to one unit. A male enters the mating pool at age 0 and meets prospective partners according to a Poisson process. At equil...
متن کاملOn the Ramsey Equilibrium with Heterogeneous Consumers
In this paper we address the question of deterministic cycles in a Ramsey model with heterogeneous in nite-lived agents and borrowing constraints, augmented to take into account the case of elastic labor supply. Under usual restrictions, not only we show that the steady state is unique, but also we clarify its stability properties through a local analysis. We nd that, in many cases, the introdu...
متن کاملMonetary Policywith Private Government Preferences: U Turn If You Want To
A common criticism of repeated and dynamic game theoretic models of government policy is that they exhibit a large multiplicity of equilibria making them di cult to test and falsify. Fudenberg-Levine (1989) show that when a large patient player plays against a sequence of short lived players who are uncertain as to the large player's type, the ability of that player to build a reputation may si...

متن کاملRobust control of forward-looking models
This paper shows how to formulate and compute robust Ramsey (aka Stackelberg) plans for linear models with forward looking private agents. The leader and the followers share a common approximating model and both have preferences for robust decision rules because both doubt the model. Since their preferences differ, the leader’s and followers’ decision rules are fragile to different misspecifica...
