Abstract: | In this paper, optimal saving and investment behaviour of a household that can either invest in riskless or risky saving technology when risk results from a Poisson process is studied. The focus is on behaviour of households in a general equilibrium setup. Poisson processes are introduced since they allow an understanding and modelling of endogenous cycles jointly with long-run growth. It turns out that a very simple, intuitive and tractable characterization of equilibrium is possible. |
