Jo From it is now straightforward to draw the following conclusion The unique solution to and that satisfies with r z given by is c c1 c2 c and R R2 R1 where c R is the First-Best solution and . A separating competitive equilibrium with long-term annuities supports the first-best allocation. Individuals are able to insure themselves against uncertainty with respect to their future risk class by purchasing long-term annuities early in life. In equilibrium these annuities yield at every age a rate of return equal to the population average of risk class rates of return. The returns from these annuities provide an individual with a consumption level that is independent of risk-class realization. The transfers across states of nature necessary for the first-best allocation are obtained through the revaluation of long-term annuities. The stochastically dominant risk class obtains a windfall because the annuities held by individuals in this class are worth more because of the . .
