Abstract

This paper shows new properties about the equilibria of a stationary OG economy by establishing a connection between its stationary equilibria and those of a finite economy, with and without extrinsic uncertainty. Specifically, it shows the countability and local uniqueness with respect to the sup metric of the so-called sunspot cycles introduced here, that encompass both the deterministic cycles and the usual finite Markovian stationary sunspot equilibria. These sunspot cycles are, moreover, able to generate, at a lower cost in terms of assumptions than other sunspot equilibria, time series with the recurrent but irregular fluctuations typical of economic time series.
