Market Clearing with Dividend and Investment

# Market Clearing with Dividend and Investment

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-07-23)

In pure exchange GE models, a typical goods market clearing condition for good $n$ looks like:

$$\sum\limits\_{i=1}^Ic\_n^i=\sum\limits\_{i=1}^Ie\_n^i.$$

Consider a model with production where firms can pay dividends and invest in new capital. New capital can be produced from output goods using a linear technology.

**My Question:** Taking the existence of dividends and investment into account, how does the goods market clearing condition look like in this case?

Look at textbook definitions of equilibrium in macro models of General Equilibrium with production and investment. Basically, the Equation $Y\_t=C\_t+I\_t$ that says that the amount produced at a certain period must equal the consumption plus investment in that period is the relevant market-clearing condition in the market for goods.
