X Tatonnement in Ongoing Markets of Complementary Goods
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper continues the study, initiated by Cole and Fleischer in [Cole and Fleischer 2008], of the behavior of a tatonnement price update rule in Ongoing Fisher Markets. The prior work showed fast convergence toward an equilibrium when the goods satisfied the weak gross substitutes property and had bounded demand and income elasticities. The current work shows that fast convergence also occurs for the following types of markets:

Analyzing Tatonnement Dynamics in Economic Markets
The impetus for this dissertation is to explain why well-functioning markets might be able to stay at or near a market equilibrium. We argue that tatonnement, a natural, simple and distributed price update dynamic in economic markets, is a plausible candidate to explain how markets might reach their equilibria. Tatonnement is broadly defined as follows: if the demand for a good is more than the...
متن کاملDepartment of Economics Monetizing Trade: a Tatonnement Example Monetizing Trade: a Tatonnement Example
This paper presents a class of examples where a barter economy develops through agents' optimizing decisions into a monetary economy. A barter economy with m commodities is characterized by m(m-1)/2 commodity pair trading posts for active trade of each good for every other. Monetary equilibrium is characterized by active trade concentrated on m-1 posts, those trading in 'money' versus the m-1 o...
متن کاملThe WALRAS Algorithm : A Convergent Distributed Implementation of GeneralEquilibrium
The walras algorithm calculates competitive equilibria via a distributed tatonnement-like process, in which agents submit single-good demand functions to market-clearing auctions. The algorithm is asynchronous and decentralized with respect to both agents and markets, making it suitable for distributed implementation. We present a formal description of this algorithm, and prove that it converge...
متن کاملDiscrete Price Updates Yield Fast Convergence in Ongoing Markets with Finite Warehouses
This paper shows that in suitable markets, even with out-of-equilibrium trade allowed, a simple price update rule leads to rapid convergence toward the equilibrium. In particular, this paper considers a Fisher market repeated over an unbounded number of time steps, with the addition of finite sized warehouses to enable non-equilibrium trade. The main result is that suitable tatonnement style pr...
متن کاملWhy Is There Money? Convergence to a Monetary Equilibrium in a General Equilibrium Model with Transaction Costs by Ross
This paper presents a class of examples where a nonmonetary economy converges in a tatonnement process to a monetary equilibrium. Exchange takes place in organized markets characterized by an array of trading posts where each pair of goods may be traded for one another. A barter equilibrium with m commodities is characterized by m(m-1)/2 commodity pair trading posts, most of which host active t...
