Nous analysons la relation entre évolution de la qualité de crédit et cycle économique. Nous débutons par une présentation de faits stylisés puis présentons des modèles économétriques de sensibilité au cycle pour les taux de défaut et les ratios upgrades/downgrades. Dans un second...

This paper provides an analysis of co-movements between real and financial variables in three new EU member countries (the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland) and the euro area. It focuses on the co-movement between real credit granted to firms and real industrial output on the one hand, and...

This paper reconsiders the theory of existence of efficient allocations and equilibria when consumption sets are unbounded below under the assumption that agents have incomplete preferences. Our model is motivated by an example in the theory of assets with short-selling where there is risk and...

We prove the non-emptiness of the core of an NTU game satisfying a condition of payoff-dependent balancedness, based on transfer rate mappings. We also define a new equilibrium condition on transfer rates and we prove the existence of core payoff vectors satisfying this condition. The additional...

The theory of existence of equilibrium with short-selling is reconsidered under risk and ambiguity modelled by risk averse variational preferences. A sufficient condition for existence of efficient allocations is that the relative interiors of the risk adjusted sets of expectations overlap. This...

We apply set valued analysis techniques in order to characterize the input-to-state dynamical stability (ISDS) property, a variant of the well known input-to-state stability (ISS) property. Using a suitable augmented differential inclusion we are able to characterize the epigraphs of minimal...

In this paper we study some foundational issues in the theory of asset pricing with market frictions. We model market frictions by letting the set of marketed contingent claims (the opportunity set) be a convex set, and the pricing rule at which these claims are available be convex. This is the...

We consider an exchange economy under incomplete financial markets with purely financial securities and finitely many agents. When portfolios are not constrained Cass [4], Duffie [7] and Florenzano–Gourdel [12] proved that arbitrage-free security prices fully characterize equilibrium security...

In 1987, the Brundtland Commission famously defined sustainable development as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the needs of the future”. This paper is concerned with translating this definition in the framework of the neoclassical one-sector model of...
