Infinite-Horizon and Overlapping-Generations Models

Abstract

This paper studies the relation between two widely used macroeconomic frameworks: the infinite-horizon general equilibrium model with infinitely-lived agents (GEILA) and the overlapping generations (OLG) model. We show that a two-cycle equilibrium of the GEILA model is an equilibrium of the OLG model, and conversely, an equilibrium of the OLG model can be viewed as a two-cycle equilibrium of the GEILA model. Using this equivalence, we explore the existence of equilibrium indeterminacy and rational asset price bubbles in both frameworks. Our results provide a unified perspective on these important economic phenomena across the two modeling approaches.
