The possibility of indeterminacy and sunspot fluctuations in dynamic
rational expectations models has been often questioned on empirical grounds,
for such models are widely believed to rely on implausibly high degrees of
increasing returns to scale and/or other controversial calibrations of
economic fundamentals. In this paper, we study the occurrence of such
phenomena in a standard (one-sector) optimal growth model with endogenous
labor supply and a partial cash-in-advance constraint on consumption
purchases. We show that, under standard preferences and constant returns to
scale in production, indeterminacy typically prevails for an arbitrarily
small amplitude of the liquidity constraint. We also analyze the cyclical
properties of the model submitted to technological and beliefs disturbances
and observe that it performs as well as comparable indeterminate models in
the literature.
