Competitive Equilibria and the Core of Exchange Economies under Asymmetric Information

Clippel, Geoffroy de - Econometric Society - 2004

I argue in favor of a competitive screening approach for studying the question of coalition formation in exchange economies under asymmetric information. I obtain a new notion of core that refines Wilson (1978)'s coarse core. It is nonempty under the standard regularity conditions. I also...
