Fiat money and the value of binding portfolio constraints

Abstract: Abstract. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the individual optimality of a consumption-portfolio plan in an infinite horizon economy where agents are uniformly impatient and fiat money is the only asset available for inter-temporal transfers of wealth. Next, we show that fiat money has a positive equilibrium price if and only if for some agent the zero short sale constraint is binding and has a positive shadow price (now or in the future). As there is always an agent that is long, it follows… Show more

“…We contribute to explain the asset pricing in terms of production activity. Although many papers have raised the question of asset valuation, most of them have focused on assets with exogenous positive dividends (Lucas, 1978;Santos and Woodford, 1997) or zero dividend (Bewley, 1980;Tirole, 1985;Pascoa et al, 2011). Unlike this literature, in our paper, every agent can use the asset to produce the consumption good according to her own technology.…”

“…In this case, the land in our model can be interpreted as fiat money in Bewley (1980), Santos and Woodford (1997), Pascoa et al (2011) where they provide some examples where the fiat money price is strictly positive. Our contribution concerns the existence of bubble of assets with positive and endogenous dividends.…”
