The Number of Equilibria of Smooth Infinite Economies
نویسنده
چکیده
We construct an index theorem for smooth infinite economies that shows that generically the number of equilibria is odd. As a corollary, this gives a new proof of existence and gives conditions that guarantee global uniqueness of equilibria.

Regular Infinite Economies
The main contribution of this paper is to place smooth infinite economies in the setting of the equilibrium manifold and the natural projection map à la Balasko. We show that smooth infinite economies have an equilibrium set that has the structure of a Banach manifold and that the natural projection map is smooth. We define regular and critical economies, and regular and critical prices, and we...
متن کاملEquilibrium Analysis of Dynamic Economies Preliminary Version
We study equilibrium properties of discrete-time, infinite-horizon smooth economies whose equilibria can be represented as a sequence of interrelated equations, and provide sufficient conditions to guarantee existence, (generic) determinacy and (generic) robustness of equilibria. Our approach exploits the sequential nature of a dynamic economy. An equilibrium is represented by a sequence of end...
متن کاملOn the regularity of equilibria in dynamic economies
For discrete-time, infinite-horizon economies that are represented by a sequence of interrelated smooth equations, we provide sufficient conditions to guarantee regularity of equilibria on a full measure set of economies. Our approach exploits the sequential nature of a dynamic economy. An equilibrium is represented by a sequence of endogenous variables that solves a sequence of systems of smoo...

This paper considers whether infinite horizon economies have determinate perfect foresight equilibria. ¥e consider stationary pure exchange economies with both finite and infinite numbers of agents. When there is a finite number of infinitely lived agents, we argue that equilibria are generically determinate. This is because the number of equations determining the equilibria is not infinite, bu...
متن کاملMangasarian-Fromovitz and Zangwill Conditions For Non-Smooth Infinite Optimization problems in Banach Spaces
In this paper we study optimization problems with infinite many inequality constraints on a Banach space where the objective function and the binding constraints are Lipschitz near the optimal solution. Necessary optimality conditions and constraint qualifications in terms of Michel-Penot subdifferential are given.
