The unit root property and optimality with a continuum of states—Pure exchange

Journal of Mathematical Economics, 2018, vol. 78, issue C, 105-118

Abstract: We study general one good pure exchange stochastic overlapping generations economies with stationary Markovian uncertainty and a continuum of states for the Markov process. We show that a unit root property provides a complete characterization of the optimality properties of stationary equilibrium allocations when markets are sequentially complete and the welfare criterion is conditional Pareto optimality.
