Abstract

This paper studies the intertemporal equilibrium of a barter economy populated with a continuum of finitely-lived overlapping generations. Assuming isoelastic preferences and zero endowments at the beginning and the end of the individual's 'life-span, it proves the existence of an Hopf bifurcation and provides sufficient conditions on parameters for its occurrence.
