Search is embeded in an overlapping-generations model. Young people participate a centralized market and a decentralized market sequentially and olds only participates the centralized market. The demographic feature allows analytical tractability. In a series examples, positve inflation rates are Pareto optimal. JEL classification: E31

The OLG model of Allais and Samuelson retains the methodological assumptions of agent optimization and market clearing from the Arrow–Debreu model, yet its equilibrium set has different properties: Pareto inefficiency, multiplicity, positive valuation of money, and a golden rule equilibrium in which the rate of interest is equal to population growth (independent of impatience). These properties...

in this paper, we introduce non-interest profit/loss sharing (pls) banks into a three-period overlapping generations model. two types, (low- and high quality) investments are assumed and capital accumulation and level of output in the steady state is considered. then, administrative rationing is introduced to the model. it is shown that the level of capital accumulation and output in equilibriu...

Paul Samuelson’s (1958) overlapping generations model has turned 50. Seldom has so simple a model been so influential. Its “wow” factor, and the feeling of surprise at its originality and coolness have not paled with the years. The paper, in spite of its ripe age, still elicits wonder. Starting from the uncontroversial observation that “we live in a world where new generations are always coming...
