Abstract

This paper shows that regime-switching sunspot equilibria easily arise in a one-sector growth model with aggregate decreasing returns and arbitrarily small externalities. We construct a regime-switching sunspot equilibrium under the assumption that the utility function of consumption is linear. We also construct a stochastic optimal growth model whose optimal process turns out to be a regime-switching sunspot equilibrium of the original economy under the assumption that there is no capital externality. We illustrate our results with numerical examples.

1
See Benhabib and Farmer (1999) for a survey of earlier results. See Grandmont (1989, 1991) for a discussion of the relations between the local stability properties of a steady state and the possibility of sunspot equilibria.
 
2
See Clain-Chamosset-Yvrard and Kamihigashi (2015) for an example of a regime-switching sunspot equilibrium in a two-country model with asset bubbles.
 
3
Kamihigashi (2015) shows that multiple steady states are possible even without externalities.
 
4
In the decentralized version of the model, profits are given to consumers, who are the owners of the firms.
 
5
The condition \(\sigma \in [0,1]\) is needed here.
