No-trade and uniqueness of steady states

Abstract

In the present paper a stationary overlapping-generations model with many commodities and many different consumers is considered. The main result is that economies with endowments near no-trade equilibria with constant prices have a unique balanced steady state and a unique golden-rule steady state. These results are obtained generically in utility functions and do not depend on whether the utility functions are of the discounted form or not.
