Quasi equilibria for growth economies

Author

  • Burke, Jonathan L.

Abstract

We find preferences that discount utility from future consumption yet violate the standard growth condition in representative-agent endowment economies. Such economies have no competitive equilibria, but have quasi equilibria. The supporting price systems include a type of speculative bubble.
