Pricing Optimal Distributions to Overlapping Generations: A Corollary to Efficiency Pricing

Lawrence M. Benveniste

The Review of Economic Studies, 1986, vol. 53, issue 2, 301-306

Abstract: This paper will exploit the structural similarity of the two period overlapping generations model and the dynamic capital accumulation model to provide a pricing characterization of Pareto optimal distributions. With some very simple structural interpretations, the techniques which were developed to characterize efficient capital accumulation, apply directly to the overlapping generations model of the most general form; where generations consist of heterogenous consumer types of varying lifespans.
