the analysis, we assume that Pst > 0 for every history st .
To conclude this section, we define the operators EQ to be the expectation
operator associated with Q. Finally, we say that a finite history st+p ∈ St+p
follows a finite history st ∈ St (t, p ∈ N), denoted by st+p ,→ st, if there
exists s ∈ Sp such that st+p = (st, s).
2.1 The agents
In this section, economic agents are described. There is a finite number I ≥ 1
of infinitely-lived agents behaving competitively.
There is a single consumption good available in every period t (t ∈ N+).
Denote by cist the consumption of an agent i (i = 1, ..., I) in history st ∈ St
(t ∈ N+). In every period t (t ∈ N+) and in every history st ∈ St, every
agent i (i = 1, ..., I) is endowed with wsit > 0 units of consumption goods.
In every period t ∈ N , and after the realization of the history st ∈ St , the
agents trade L ≥ 1 infinitely-lived assets, or Lucas’ trees as in Lucas (1978).
Every tree j (j = 1, ..., L) yields a dividend djst > 0 of units of consumption
good in history st. Let dst denote the vector (ds1t, ..., dsLt) for every st. The
supply of every tree is assumed to be 1 in every history.
The aggregate endowment wst , in every history st (st ∈ St and t ∈ N+),
is given by
wst = i wsit + j djst .
The price in history st of one share of the tree j (1 ≤ j ≤ L) is denoted
by qsjt , for every st ∈ St and t ∈ N+. Let qst denote the vector (qs1t , ..., qsLt)
