Price-dispersed Preferences and C’ Mean Demand
The purpose of this article is to present a class of consumption sectors which exhibit a continuously differentiable mean demand although individual preferences are not assumed to be convex. As we have argued in an earlier paper [Dierker et al. (1980b, introduction)], several economic questions require mean demand to be a continuously differentiable function and not only to be a continuous one....
متن کاملThe dynamic instability of dispersed price equilibria
We examine whether price dispersion is an equilibrium phenomenon or a cyclical phenomenon. We develop a finite strategy model of price dispersion based on the infinite strategy model of Burdett and Judd (1983). Adopting an evolutionary standpoint, we examine the stability of dispersed price equilibrium under perturbed best response dynamics. We conclude that when both sellers and consumers part...
متن کاملHouse price dynamics with dispersed information
We use a user-cost model to study how dispersed information among housing market participants a¤ects the equilibrium house price. In the model, agents consume housing services, speculate on price changes and are disparately informed about local economic conditions. Information dispersion leads agent to form heterogeneous expectations about housing demand and prices. Optimists, who expect high h...
متن کاملMean - Dispersion Preferences
The starting point for this paper is the variational preference model introduced by Maccheroni et al [2006]), which includes Gilboa-Schmeidler multiple-prior preferences and Hansen-Sargent multiplier preferences. First, we show that any variational preferences admit a `primal' representation with a natural interpretation: a `mean' expected-utility of the act minus a `dispersion measure' that de...
متن کاملEconomies with price-dependent preferences
With the exception of existence, not much is known of economies where individual preferences may depend on prices. We show that the main properties of competitive equilibria that fall under the general heading of qualitative comparative statics remain true when preferences are price dependent, provided that the total resources are allowed to vary in the parameter space. The equilibrium set is a...
