Implications of heterogeneity in preferences, beliefs and asset trading technologies for the macroeconomy

Abstract: This paper analyzes and computes the equilibria of economies with large numbers of heterogeneous agents who have different asset trading technologies, preferences, and beliefs. We illustrate the value of our method by using it to evaluate the implications of these heterogeneities through several quantitative exercises.
