摘要:
We study the possibility of random changes in the allocation of resources among regions/sectors in the presence of local productive externalities, in an environment without intrinsic uncertainty. We show that ''positive'' externalities over some range of activity are a necessary condition for existence of such sunspot equilibria. For the two-state sunspot case, we derive sufficient conditions for existence of sunspot equilibria, in terms of the properties of adjustment costs, private technologies, and externalities.
