Abstract

The main question of this paper is that which interest rate value assures existence and optimality of equilibrium, in an environment that we have only precautionary demand for money and assets. This environment has two properties: heterogeneous agents and incomplete markets. In this environment, agents hold precautionary savings (in form of a single asset such as fiat currency, credit, and capital) for self-insurancing themselves against idiosyncratic income fluctuations. Bewley models are formed in this environment. In this paper, we calibrate this model for Iran economy and show that when agents have access to the fiat currency or credit, these results are true.
