Existence of Equilibrium in Incomplete Markets with Non-ordered Preferences
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we extend the results of recent studies on the existence of equilibrium in finite dimensional asset markets for both bounded and unbounded economies. We do not assume that the individual’s preferences are complete or transitive. Our existence theorems for asset markets allow for short selling. We shall also show that the equilibrium achieves a constrained core within the same framework. Date: March 2002. JEL Classification. C62, D52, D81, G12.

متن کاملNon-existence of recursive equilibria on compact state spaces when markets are incomplete
This paper analyzes one-good exchange economies with two infinitely-lived agents and incomplete markets. It is shown that there are no recursive (Markov) equilibria for which borrowing (debt) constraints never bind if the state space of exogenous and endogenous variables is a compact subset of IR. Moreover, for large enough (but finite) borrowing limits, no recursive equilibrium with compact st...
متن کاملIncomplete preferences, complementarity and non-convexity
This paper extends to incomplete preferences the formulation of strategic complementarity in Milgrom and Shannon (1994). It is shown, by example, that quasi-supermodularity and single-crossing no longer su¢ce to guarantee monotone comparative statics with incomplete preferences. However, when incomplete preferences satisfy monotone closure in addition to quasi-supermodularity and single-crossin...
متن کاملMore on equilibria in competitive markets with externalities and a continuum of agents
Equilibrium existence results are presented for competitive markets with externalities in price and consumption and a measure space of agents. These unify and extend [Balder, E.J., 2003.

متن کاملEfficient allocations and equilibria with short-selling and incomplete preferences
This article reconsiders the theory of existence of efficient allocations and equilibria when consumption sets are unbounded below under the assumption that agents have incomplete preferences. It is motivated by an example in the theory of assets with short-selling where there is risk and ambiguity. Agents have Bewley’s incomplete preferences. As an inertia principle is assumed in markets, equi...
