Unbalanced growth, elasticity of substitution, and land overvaluation
We study the long-run behavior of land prices when land plays the dual role of a factor of
production and a store of value. In modern economies where technological progress is …

Leverage, endogenous unbalanced growth, and asset price bubbles
We present a new theoretical framework to think about asset price bubbles in dividend-
paying assets. We study a general equilibrium macro-finance model with a positive …

A theory of rational housing bubbles with phase transitions
We analyze equilibrium housing prices in an overlapping generations model with perfect
housing and rental markets. We prove that the economy exhibits a two-stage phase …

Unique Equilibria in Models of Rational Asset Price Bubbles
Existing models of rational pure bubble models feature multiple (and often a continuum of)
equilibria, which makes model predictions and policy analysis non-robust. We show that …
