I mean, I have a model with a government and a central bank. The government optimizes a utility function but with a different discont rate then the household, thus I get a equilibrium condition that in the steady state demands that both discont rates have to be the same, which they can't due to the assumption of a myopic government. Thus I wondered that the system has no steady state. Perhaps I am wrong, since I also think, that it could be that this system has no steady state since the government accumulates to much debt due to myopia.
Do you understand what I mean? I hope...
