On Equilibrium Determinacy in Overlapping Generations Models with Money
This paper provides a detailed analysis of the local determinacy of monetary and non-monetary steady states in Tirole (1985)'s classical two-period overlapping generations model with capital and production. We show that the sufficient condition for local determinacy in endowment economies provided by Scheinkman (1980) does not generalize to models with production: there are robust examples with arbitrary utility functions in which the non-monetary steady state is locally determinate or indeterminate. In contrast, the monetary steady state is locally determinate under fairly weak conditions.

The relationship between general equilibrium models with infinite-lived agents and overlapping generations models, and some applications
We prove that a two-cycle equilibrium in a general equilibrium model with infinitely-lived agents also constitutes an equilibrium in an overlapping generations (OLG) model. Conversely, an equilibrium in an OLG model that…
Equilibrium Selection in Pure Bubble Models by Dividend Injection
Rational pure bubble models feature multiple (and often a continuum of) equilibria, which makes model predictions and policy analyses non-robust. We show that when the interest rate in the fundamental equilibrium is belo…
Fiscal Stimulus of Last Resort
I examine global dynamics in a monetary model with overlapping generations of finite-horizon agents and a binding lower bound on nominal interest rates. Debt targeting rules exacerbate the possibility of self-fulfilling …
Revisiting the determinacy on New Keynesian Models: A survey
The goal of this paper is to review some analytic techniques that are potentially useful to shed light on the determinacy question that arises in New Keynesian models as result of a combination of several monetary policy…
SurveyAsset Prices with Overlapping Generations and Capital Accumulation: Tirole (1985) Revisited
We revisit the classic paper of Tirole "Asset Bubbles and Overlapping Generations" (1985, Econometrica), which shows that the emergence of asset bubbles solves the capital over-accumulation problem. While Tirole's main i…
