文摘Abstract. This paper examines the equilibrium existence of an overlapping generationsmodel with transaction costs. Moreover, we also show that if the equilibrium prices ofbuying equal those of selling the equilibrium allocations are pareto effiCient when the valueof the aggregate endowment at equilibrium price is finite.
