Abstract
The paper "Competitive equilibria of economies with a continuum of consumers and aggregate shocks" by J. Miao provides an in-depth analysis of dynamic models of the economy with a continuum of agents and aggregate productivity shocks. In Section 3 the existence of a sequential competitive equilibrium is derived by applying the Brouwer -- Schauder -- Tychonoff fixed point theorem. But unfortunately, there are two non-trivial problems in the proof.
Keywords: Competitive equilibrium, heterogenous agent models
