Abstract

This paper presents a recursive method for the computation of sequential competitive equilibria in dynamic models with heterogeneous agents and market frictions. This computational method builds on a convergent operator defined over an expanded set of state variables for which a Markovian equilibrium solution is shown to exist. We apply this method to a stochastic growth economy and two financial economies.
