The limits of counter-cyclical monetary policy: an analysis based on optimal control theory and vector autoregressions
Litterman, Robert B. (1986)
Optimal control theory can be combined with the probability structure of a vector autoregression to investigate the tradeoffs available to policymakers. Such an approach obtains results based on a minimal set of assumptions about the economy and the structure of policy actions. This paper takes this approach to analyze the potential effectiveness of countercyclical monetary policy.

Temporal aggregation in a multi-sector economy with endogenous growth
Michel, Philippe; Mercenier, Jean (1995)
We provide a theoretical treatment of temporal aggregation in models that exhibit long-term endogenously-generated steady growth; hence generalizing our previous analysis (Econometrica 62, 1994, pp. 635-56). We introduce the property of steady-growth invariance - that the long-term growth of the continuous-time economy not be affected by the discretization - which imposes consistency restrictions on the joint formulation of preferences and stock accumulation of the discrete-time approximation. We establish, under mild conditions, these restrictions in the form of necessary and sufficient ...

Buyers, sellers and middlemen: variations in search theory
Wong, Yuet-Yee; Wright, Randall (2011)
We study bilateral exchange, both direct trade and indirect trade that happens through chains of intermediaries or middlemen. We develop a model of this activity and present applications. This illustrates how, and how many, intermediaries get involved, and how the terms of trade are determined. Bargaining with intermediaries depends on how they bargain with downstream intermediaries, leading to interesting holdup problems. We discuss the roles of buyers and sellers in bilateral exchange, and how to interpret prices. We develop a particular bargaining solution and relate it to other solutions. ...

Equilibrium existence in an overlapping generations model with altruistic preferences
Aiyagari, S. Rao (1987)
We prove the existence of a competitive equilibrium in an overlapping generations model in which each generation has a preference ordering over its own and its descendents? consumptions. The model is one of pure exchange with many goods in each period and two period lived generations. The bequest from one generation to the next is required to be non-negative and is endogenous. In equilibrium, some sequences of agents of successive generations may be continually ?linked? by positive bequests and act as infinitely lived agents. Other sequences of agents may not be so linked and therefore behave ...

Taxation, aggregates and the household
Ventura, Gustavo; Kaygusuz, Remzi; Guner, Nezih (2008)
We evaluate reforms to the U.S. tax system in a dynamic setup with heterogeneous married and single households, and with an operative extensive margin in labor supply. We restrict our model with observations on gender and skill premia, labor force participation of married females across skill groups, and the structure of marital sorting. We study four revenue-neutral tax reforms: a proportional consumption tax, a proportional income tax, a progressive consumption tax, and a reform in which married individuals file taxes separately. Our findings indicate that tax reforms are accompanied by ...

Existence of steady states with positive consumption in the Kiyotaki-Wright model
Aiyagari, S. Rao; Wallace, Neil (1991)
We prove the general existence of steady states with positive consumption in an N goods and fiat money version of the Kiyotaki-Wright (?On money as a median of exchange,? Journal of Political Economy 1989, 97 (4), 927?54) model by admitting mixed strategies. We also show that there always exists a steady state in which everyone accepts a least costly-to-store object. In particular, if fiat money is one such object, then there always exists a monetary steady state. We also establish some other properties of steady states and comment on the relationship between steady states and (incentive) ...
