RECURSIVE EQUILIBRIA IN AN AIYAGARI-STYLE ECONOMY WITH PERMANENT INCOME SHOCKS
2013
Overview
We prove existence of a recursive competitive equilibrium (RCE) for an Aiyagari-style economy with permanent income shocks and derive important economic implications. We show that there exist equilibria where borrowing constraints are never binding and establish a nontrivial lower bound on the equilibrium interest rate. These results imply distinct consumption dynamics compared to existing studies. We present a new approach to solve the agent's problem that uses lattices of consumption functions to deal with permanent income shocks and an unbounded utility function. The approach provides a theoretical foundation for convergence of the time iteration algorithm widely used in applied work.
