Two financial structures are equivalent if, for each given state price, the images of their full payoff matrices of these financial structures are equal. The main consequence of this definition is that, regardless of the standard exchange economy ?, the existence of a financial equilibrium in an...

We consider a family of exchange economies where consumers have multiprior preferences representing their ambiguity aversion. Under a linear independence assumption, we prove that regular economies are generic. Regular economies exhibit enjoyable properties: odd finite number of equilibrium...

We consider a stochastic financial exchange economy with a finite date-event tree representing time and uncertainty and a financial structure with possibly long-term assets. We exhibit a sufficient condition under which the set of marketable payoffs depends continuously on the arbitrage free...

We consider a stochastic financial exchange economy with a finite date-event tree representing time and uncertainty and a financial structure with possibly long-term assets. We exhibit a sufficient condition under which the set of marketable payoffs depends continuously on the arbitrage free...

In a stochastic financial exchange economy, two financial structures are equivalent if, for each given state price, regardless the associated arbitrage free price, the marketable payoffs are identical. The key property of two equivalent financial structures is that, when associated with any...

We consider a generalized expenditure function and the associated Hicksian demand. First, we provide some economic interpretation of the problem that we study. Then, we study different properties of the solution: existence, Lipschitz behavior and differential properties. We conclude by a...

We consider a stochastic financial exchange economy with a finite date-event tree representing time and uncertainty and a nominal financial structure with possibly long-term assets. We exhibit a sufficient condition under which the payoff matrix and the full payoff matrix have the same rank....

Recent literature tried to explain the Indian growth miracle in different ways, ranging from trade liberalization to industrial reforms. Using data on Indian manufacturing firms, this paper analyzes the relationship between firm's productivity and export market participation during 1991-2004....

A robust feature of the corporate growth process is the Laplace, or symmetric exponential, distribution of firm growth rates. In this paper, we sketch out a class of simple theoretical models capable of explaining this empirical regularity. We do not attempt to generalize on where growth...

We propose a simple model of a mating economy in both monogamous and polygynous cultures, and derive implications for how polygyny affects individual and aggregate fertility. We find that an attractive woman is more likely to find a high-status husband. However, when polygyny is allowed,...
