2 Arrow-Debreu economy General equilibrium, exchange economy Static (all trades done at period 0) but multi-period No restrictions on preferences 2 / 28
3 Basic setting Two dates: 0, and. This set-up, however, is fully generalizable to multiple periods. S possible states of nature at date, indexed by s =, 2,..., S with the corresponding probabilities π(s). One perishable (=non storable) consumption good I agents, indexed i =,..., I, with preferences u i 0(c i 0) + β i S s= π(s)u i (c i (s)) Agent i s endowment is described by the vector {y i 0, (yi (s)) s=,2,...,s} 3 / 28
4 Traded securities Arrow-Debreu securities (AD) (contingent claims): security for state s date priced at time 0 at q 0 (s) promises delivery of one unit of commodity tomorrow (at date ) if state s is realized and nothing otherwise Thus, individual i s consumption in state s will equal her holdings of AD securities for state s, date 4 / 28
5 Agent s problem. Competitive equilibrium setting max u i 0(c i 0) + β i c i 0,ci (),...,ci (S) s.t. S π(s)u i (c i (s)) s= (P) S S c i 0 + q(s)c 0 i (s) y0 i + q(s)y 0 (s) i s= s= c i 0, c i (),..., c i (S) 0 5 / 28
6 Definition of the equilibrium Equilibrium is a set of contingent claim prices such that: q 0 (), q 0 (2),..., q 0 (S) at those prices c i 0, ci (),..., ci (S) solve problem (P) for all i s, and 2 I c i 0 = i= I y0, i i= I c i (s) = i= I y(s), i for each s =, 2,..., S. i= 6 / 28
7 Competitive equilibrium and Pareto optimality illustrated Agents Endowments Preferences t=0 t= s= s=2 Agent c [ 3 ln(c ()) ln(c (2))] Agent c [ 3 ln(c2 ()) ln(c2 (2))] 7 / 28

9 Optimum Optimality conditions: c Agent : () : q 0() 2 = 0.9 c (2) : q 0(2) 2 = c 2 Agent 2: () : q 0() 2 = 0.9 c 2 (2) : q 0(2) 2 = Feasibility conditions: 3 c () 3 c (2) 3 c 2 () 3 c 2 (2) c () + c 2 () = 5 c (2) + c 2 (2) = 8 c () = c 2 () = 2.5 c (2) = c 2 (2) = 4. 9 / 28
10 Prices of AD securities Optimality conditions can be expressed as q 0 (s) = 0.9 π(s) /2 c i (s), s, i =, 2, or That is, q 0 (s) = β π(s) u i 0 c i 0 u i c i (s), s, i =, 2. today s price of the tomorrow s good if state s is realized price of the today s good = MUi (s) MU i 0 q 0 () = q 0 (2) = c c = () = = (2) 3 4 = / 28
11 Notes on AD prices Prices reflect probabilities, and marginal rates of substitution and therefore relative scarcities of the goods (total quantities of goods differ in different states) If date marginal utilities were constant (linear, risk neutral preferences), the goods endowments wouldn t influence the AD prices, which would be then exactly proportional to the state probabilities / 28
12 Post-trade equilibrium consumptions t=0 t= utility s= s=2 Agent Agent Total c 0 = = 9.04 c 2 0 = = / 28
13 Is the equilibrium Pareto optimal? (If yes, it is impossible to rearrange the allocation of consumptions so that the utility of one agent is higher without reducing the utility of the other agent.) 3 / 28
14 Pareto problem max u (c 0, c (), c (2)) + λu 2 (c 2 0, c 2 (), c 2 (2)) {c 0,c (),c (2)} 0 s.t. c 0 + c 2 0 = 5 c () + c 2 () = 5 c (2) + c 2 (2) = 8 c 0, c (), c (2), c 2 0, c 2 (), c 2 (2) 0 FOCs: u 0 u 2 0 = u () u 2 () = u (2) = λ. (2) u 2 4 / 28
15 In terms of our example, the first 3 equalities are /2 0.9 /2 = c () 3 c 2 () = c (2) c 2 (2) In our example, competitive equilibrium corresponds to the Pareto optimum with equal weighting of the two agents utilities, λ =. 5 / 28
16 Incomplete markets=less AD securities than states Assume that only state- date- AD security is available. Agent : max {c 0,c ()} q() 0 c () q() 0 }{{} =c 0 [ + }{{} ln(c ()) + 2 ] 3 ln(2) =β Agent 2 : max {c 2 0,c2 ()} q() 0 c 2 () q() 0 }{{} =c 2 0 [ + }{{} ln(c2 ()) + 2 ] 3 ln(6) =β 2 6 / 28
17 Post-trade allocation FOCs and the feasibility condition imply c () = c2 () = ( + 4)/2 = 2.5. t=0 t= utility s= s=2 Agent <5.62 Agent <4.09 Total The market with AD securities for each state, called complete market, is Pareto superior to the incomplete market. 7 / 28
18 Risk sharing. New endowment matrix Agents Endowments Preferences t=0 t= s= s=2 Agent c [ 2 ln(c ()) + 2 ln(c (2))] Agent c [ 2 ln(c2 ()) + 2 ln(c2 (2))] 8 / 28
19 Table : No trade Agents Utilities Expected utility in period t= s= s=2 Agent ln() ln(5) 2 ln() + 2 ln(5)= Agent 2 ln(5) ln() 2 ln(5) + 2 ln()= / 28
20 Table 2: Trade under complete markets Agents Utilities Expected utility in period t= s= s=2 Agent ln(3) ln(3) 2 ln(3) + 2 ln(3)=.099 Agent 2 ln(3) ln(3) 2 ln(3) + 2 ln(3)=.099 Both agents are perfectly insured=no variation in tomorrow s consumption regardless of the realized state of nature. This happens because the aggregate endowment in state and 2 is the same (=6), that is there s no aggregate risk. 20 / 28
21 Notes on Pareto optimal allocations λ = u 0 u 2 0 = u () u 2 () = u (2) u 2 (2) u () u (2) = u2 () u 2 (2) If one of the two agents is fully insured no variation in her date consumption (MRS=) the other must be as well 2 / 28
22 Notes on Pareto optimal allocations λ = u 0 u 2 0 = u () u 2 () = u (2) u 2 (2) u () u (2) = u2 () u 2 (2) If one of the two agents is fully insured no variation in her date consumption (MRS=) the other must be as well More generally, if the MRS are to differ from, given that they must be equal between the agents, the low consumption-high MU state must be the same for both agents and similarly for the high consumption-low MU state. Impossible when there s no aggregate risk, hence individuals are perfectly insured in the absence of aggregate risk. 2 / 28
23 Notes on Pareto optimal allocations λ = u 0 u 2 0 = u () u 2 () = u (2) u 2 (2) u () u (2) = u2 () u 2 (2) If one of the two agents is fully insured no variation in her date consumption (MRS=) the other must be as well More generally, if the MRS are to differ from, given that they must be equal between the agents, the low consumption-high MU state must be the same for both agents and similarly for the high consumption-low MU state. Impossible when there s no aggregate risk, hence individuals are perfectly insured in the absence of aggregate risk. If there is aggregate risk, however, the above reasoning also implies that, at a Pareto optimum, it is shared proportionately among agents with same risk tolerance. 2 / 28
24 Notes on Pareto optimal allocations λ = u 0 u 2 0 = u () u 2 () = u (2) u 2 (2) u () u (2) = u2 () u 2 (2) If one of the two agents is fully insured no variation in her date consumption (MRS=) the other must be as well More generally, if the MRS are to differ from, given that they must be equal between the agents, the low consumption-high MU state must be the same for both agents and similarly for the high consumption-low MU state. Impossible when there s no aggregate risk, hence individuals are perfectly insured in the absence of aggregate risk. If there is aggregate risk, however, the above reasoning also implies that, at a Pareto optimum, it is shared proportionately among agents with same risk tolerance. If agents are differentially risk averse, in a Pareto optimal allocation the less risk averse will typically provide some insurance services to the more risk averse. 2 / 28
25 Notes on Pareto optimal allocations λ = u 0 u 2 0 = u () u 2 () = u (2) u 2 (2) u () u (2) = u2 () u 2 (2) If one of the two agents is fully insured no variation in her date consumption (MRS=) the other must be as well More generally, if the MRS are to differ from, given that they must be equal between the agents, the low consumption-high MU state must be the same for both agents and similarly for the high consumption-low MU state.

If there is aggregate risk, however, the above reasoning also implies that, at a Pareto optimum, it is shared proportionately among agents with same risk tolerance. If agents are differentially risk averse, in a Pareto optimal allocation the less risk averse will typically provide some insurance services to the more risk averse. More generally, optimal risk sharing dictates that the agent most tolerant of risk bears a disproportionate share of it. 2 / 28
26 CRRA preferences Let u i 0 and ui (c i (s)) be CRRA, and assume homogeneous time discounting factors: u(c) = c ρ ρ, ρ > 0, ρ u(c) = log c, ρ =. 22 / 28
27 AD prices with homogeneous CRRA preferences Recall FOCs: q(s)(c 0 i 0) ρ = π(s)β(c i (s)) ρ, s =,..., S, i =,..., I [ ] π(s)β /ρ c i (s) = q 0(s) c i 0, s =,..., S, i =,..., I [ ] π(s)β /ρ c i (s) = q i 0 }{{} (s) c i 0, s =,..., S, i =,..., I i }{{} =ȳ (s) =ȳ 0 ] [ȳ q(s) 0 (s) ρ = π(s)β, s =,..., S, ȳ 0 where ȳ 0 and ȳ (s) are total, economy-wide, endowments at date 0, and date, state s, respectively. 23 / 28
28 The existence of the representative consumer. CRRA preferences ] [ȳ q(s) 0 (s) ρ = π(s)β, s =,..., S ȳ 0 Notice that the economy with the representative consumer who owns the economy-wide endowments at each date-state will result into the same equilibrium vector of prices and aggregate consumption as a decentralized economy populated by consumers with identical time discount factors and identical CRRA preferences. 24 / 28
29 Equilibrium consumption levels: CRRA preferences Furthermore, π(s)β(c i (s)) ρ (c i 0 ) ρ = q 0 (s) = π(s)β(cj (s)) ρ (c j 0 ) ρ ci (s) c i 0 = ȳ(s) ȳ 0 ci (s) ȳ (s) = ci 0 ȳ 0 = cj (s) c j 0 c j and (s) ȳ (s) = cj 0 ȳ 0 π(s)β(c i (s)) ρ π(s )β(c i (s )) ρ = q0 (s) q 0 (s ) = π(s)β(cj (s)) ρ π(s )β(c j (s )) ρ ci (s) c i (s ) = q0 (s) q 0 (s ) = ȳ(s) ȳ (s ) = cj (s) c j (s ) ci (s) ȳ (s) = ci (s ) ȳ (s ) and c j (s) ȳ (s) = cj (s ) ȳ (s ) 25 / 28
30 Summary Any agent i s consumption is a constant share κ i of date total endowment regardless of the state. Any agent i s date 0 consumption share in total output is the same as her date share. Agent i s share in aggregate consumption/wealth is the agent s share of the aggregate wealth on date 0, evaluated at equilibrium Arrow-Debreu prices. 26 / 28
31 Individual consumption share: CRRA preferences y i 0 + S q(s)y 0 (s) i = c i 0 + s= = κ i ȳ 0 + S q(s)c 0 i (s) s= = κ i [ȳ 0 + S q(s)κ 0 i ȳ (s) s= ] S q(s)ȳ 0 (s) κ i = yi 0 + S s= q0 (s)yi (s) ȳ 0 + S s= q0 (s)ȳ (s) You can further simplify the above expression by plugging in the AD prices. s= 27 / 28
