Abstract: We prove that a two-cycle equilibrium in a general equilibrium model with infinitely-lived agents constitutes an equilibrium in an overlapping generations (OLG) model. Conversely, an equilibrium in an OLG model that satisfies additional conditions is part of an equilibrium in a general equilibrium model with infinitely-lived agents. Note that our models consisting of three assets (physical capital, Lucas' tree, and fiat money) cover both exchange and production economies. Applying this result, we demonstrate that equilibrium indeterminacy and rational asset price bubbles may arise not only in OLG models but also in models with infinitely-lived agents.
