Abstract
Under a gross substitution assumption, we prove existence and uniqueness of competitive equilibrium for an infinite-horizon exchange economy with limited commitment and complete financial markets. Risk-sharing is limited as only a part of the private endowment can be used as collateral to secure debt. The unique equilibrium is Markovian with respect to a minimal state space consisting of exogenous shocks and Negishi's welfare weights. We represent equilibrium dynamics via a monotone operator acting on entire wealth distribution functions. We construct a fixed point of this operator generating a lower and an upper orbit and proving coincidence of accumulation points.
