The bounded core is the set of allocations that are not improved upon by any bounded set of agents. The authors submit that the bounded core does not serve as a criterion for the efficiency of allocations in an overlapping generations economy, for it may include allocations that are not even short-run Pareto optimal. They also submit that the bounded core is a weak criterion for the robustness of allocations in an overlapping generations economy, for it may not shrink to the set of competitive equilibrium allocations as the individual agents become negligible.
