This dissertation consists of three essays on dynamic macroeconomics with heterogeneous agents. The first essay seeks to examine the links between fiat currency and economic growth. Previous work examining the relationship between money and growth simply imposes a transactions role for money exogenously in a Walrasian environment without any market frictions. This, of course, compromises the functions of money in these models since money is a channel to overcome the frictions of the decentralized exchange process. The paper shows that money is capable of influencing the patterns of trade in decentralized markets to promote both economic growth and welfare. In contrast to conventional money-growth models which do not model why money arises endogenously as a medium of exchange, an inflation-tax may encourage higher growth and welfare.

520 $a This dissertation consists of three essays on dynamic macroeconomics with heterogeneous agents. The first essay seeks to examine the links between fiat currency and economic growth. Previous work examining the relationship between money and growth simply imposes a transactions role for money exogenously in a Walrasian environment without any market frictions. This, of course, compromises the functions of money in these models since money is a channel to overcome the frictions of the decentralized exchange process. The paper shows that money is capable of influencing the patterns of trade in decentralized markets to promote both economic growth and welfare. In contrast to conventional money-growth models which do not model why money arises endogenously as a medium of exchange, an inflation-tax may encourage higher growth and welfare.
520 $a The second essay (joint with Marcus Berliant and Ping Wang) aims to establish a microeconomic underpinning for spillovers of knowledge that have been important for explaining sustained economic growth and development. Agents possessing heterogeneous types of knowledge, search for partners with whom to exchange ideas and create new knowledge to improve production efficacy. If agents' expertise are too different, communication is difficult and knowledge creation is not effective. In addition to illustrating the mechanisms leading to knowledge transfer across agents, the paper demonstrates that knowledge spillovers are an important agglomerative force.
520 $a The final essay (joint with Derek Laing) looks at the implications of product market reputations for labor market behavior. Previous research, such as efficiency wage models, contends that the labor market is the source of observed labor market distortions. In contrast, this paper demonstrates that these features may arise from informational imperfections in the product market. Wages depend upon product quality and upon features of the product market that affect the option value of retaining a customer. The paper also provides insights into the business cycle properties of markups and wage differentials. At higher demand frequencies, markups and inter-industry wage differentials fall since the option value of retaining customers is higher.
