Recursive Competitive Equilibrium in Multi-sector Economies.

Abstract
This paper extends the theory of recursive competitive equilibrium developed by Mehra and Prescott (1980) to a class of multisector economies in which mobility is costly. By introducing l otteries into the consumption sets of individuals, it is shown that e quilibrium allocations can be obtained as the solution to a recursive programming problem. The Lucas and Prescott (1974) search environmen t is a special case of the environment studied here.
