note = "Funding Information: Recently there has been a surge of interest in endogenous business cycles that arise in competitive laissez-faire economies. In the context of standard overlapping generations economies, conditions for the existence of equilibrium cycles have been given by Grandmont [ 151 and by Benhabib and Day [4]. Models of the economy with extrinsic uncertainty or “sunspots” that have been developed by Shell [31] and by Cass and Shell [ 1 l] (see also Balasko [3]) can also lead to equilibrium cycles. The relation between sunspot equilibria and the existence of deterministic cycles has been explored in a recent paper by Azariadis and Guesnerie [2]. A search model where beliefs of agents also play a role in generating endogenous cycles is given in a paper by Diamond and Fudenberg [14]. Although the equilibrium cycles in many of the works cited above arise in a * Jess Benhabib{\textquoteright}s research was supported in part by the National Science Foundation Grant SES 8308225, and by the C.
