This paper proves the existence of competitive equilibrium in a single sector dynamic economy with elastic labor supply. The method of proof relies on some recent results (see Le Van and Saglam [2004]) concerning the existence of Lagrange multipliers in infinite dimensional spaces and their...

We introduce differential information in the asset market model studied by Cheng (1991), Dana and Le Van (1996)and Le Van and Truong Xuan (2001). An equilibrium existence result is proven assuming that the economy's information structure satisfies the conditional independency property.

How do financial markets respond to firms' efforts at innovation ? To answer this question, we mesure innovation by creating a synthetic indicator based on a firm's recent history of R&D expenditure and patent applications. We focus on four 2-digit "complex technology" manufacturing sectors that...

This paper studies a simple stochastic two-period general equilibrium model with money, an incomplete market of nominal assets, and a competitive banking system, intermediate between consumers and a Central Bank. There is a finite number of agents, consumers and banks. Default is not permitted....

We define a continuous-time trading process for Arrow-Debreu exchange economies such that (1) At each time, myopic traders play a (weakly) dominant strategy in Mertens' (2003) limit price strategic market game ; (2) existence of continuous trade curves holds under weak conditions and in...

This paper studies production economies having a locally convex topological vector commodity space ordered by a closed and generating convex come such that the order intervals are topologically bounded. The generally assumed lattice properties on the commodity-price duality are replaced by an...

Static competitive equilibria in economies with incomplete markets are generically constrained suboptimal. Allocations induced by strategic equilibria of imperfectly competitive markets are also generically inefficient. In both cases, there is scope for Pareto-improving amendments. Considering...

We prove the existence of competitive equilibrium in a single-sector dynamic economy with heterogeneous agents and elastic labor supply. The method of proof relies on exploiting the existence of Lagrange multipliers in infinite dimensional spaces and the link between Pareto-optima and...

We consider a class of pure exchange economies with externalities. The consumption set and the preferences of each household depend on his initial endowment and on the actions of the other households. We give a definition of competitive equilibrium with externalities which includes as particular...

In this paper, we first give an elementary proof of existence of equilibrium with dividends in an economy with possibly satiated consumers. We then introduce a non-arbitrage condition and show that it is equivalent to the existence of equilibrium with dividends.
