On Non-Existence of Markov Equilibria in Competitive-Market Economies

This paper presents some examples of regular dynamic economies with externalities and taxes that either lack existence of a Markov equilibrium or such equilibrium is not continuous. These examples pose further challenges for the analysis and computation of these economies.
