Green and Lin study a version of the Diamond-Dybvig model with a finite number of agents, independent determination of each agent’s type (impatient or patient), and sequential service. For special preferences, they show that the ex ante first-best allocation is the unique equilibrium outcome of the model with private information about types. For general preferences, we show, via a simple argume...

This paper analyzes the influence of the long-run decline in U.S. energy intensity on projections of energy use and carbon emissions to the year 2050. We build on our own recent work which decomposes changes in the aggregate U.S. energy-GDP ratio into shifts in sectoral composition (structural change) and adjustments in the energy demand of individual industries (intensity change), and identifi...

The impact of the sporting industry on economic decision making has increased dramatically since the global media explosion in the 1980s. Tourism and advertising revenues generated by these mega-events have become a major boost to the economies of hosting nations. In addition, globalisation has placed great emphasis on the importance of foreign direct investment (FDI), especially to developing ...

We combine general equilibrium theory and théorie générale of stochastic processes to derive structural results about equilibrium state prices. JEL Classification: D51, D91, G10, G12

We decompose the economic implications of the Kyoto Protocol at the cross-country level, splitting the total economic impact for each region into contributions from its own emission abatement policy and those from other regions. Our analysis which is based on a large-scale computable general equilibrium model for the world economy indicates that spillover effects are an important consequence of...

We present a General Equilibrium model with incomplete markets in which assets pay in units of a single good. In our model, agents are constrained to negotiate the same amount of assets at different states of the world. Differently from the standard result of economies with real assets, our model shows the existence of real indeterminacy. The presence of multiple equilibria raises issues relate...

The purpose of this note is to demonstrate a sufficient condition for discrete tâtonnement process to lead to chaos in a general equilibrium model with multiple commodities. The result indicates that as the speed of price adjustment increases the discrete tâtonnement process is complex in a general equilibrium economy in which there are multiple equilibria. JEL classification: E32; C62 Keywards...

the aim of this paper is to investigate the existence of the new non-ricardian regime policy in iranian economy. we detected signs of the non-ricardian regime from quarterly data of 1369 to 1391. to investigate further a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model is designed to estimate the fiscal and monetary parameters using a bayesian approach. our results indicated a passive monetary poli...

The impact of migrants on the host country’ s wages has been an important issue for policy makers and has attracted much research attention. Since no consistent conclusion has been reached regarding this impact, the debate over immigration policy continues in many countries. This paper constructs a theoretical dynamic general equilibrium model by which the transitional and long-run effects of a...

This paper presents a general model of an exchange economy with consumption externalities, and establishes the existence of equilibrium in the model, under assumptions comparable to those in classical models. The key aspect of the model is that the economy is described in distributional terms. JEL Classification D5
