Organizations in economic analysis

John H. Boyd, Edward Prescott and Bruce Smith

No 385, Working Papers from Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis

Abstract: Three economic environments are reviewed, and in each organizations play an essential role. For an adverse selection insurance economy, we find that when mutual insurance arrangements are permitted an equilibrium necessarily exists and is optimal. This example, and the two others, illustrate the problems that may result from imposing organizational structure on an environment rather than permitting the structure to be determined endogenously.
