We show that, in a pure exchange smooth economy, a redistribution of endowments involving singular economies can be supported by a unique and continuous path of supporting equilibrium price vectors if this redistribution is the projection of a path on the equilibrium manifold transversal to the...

It is well known that a competitive equilibrium may fail to exist when consumers' preferences are possibly satiated. In this paper, we provide three new sufficient conditions for the existence of a competitive equilibrium in the standard Arrow-Debreu pure exchange economy with satiated...

When individual preferences are strictly monotone, the continuity of the excess demand functions that is usually assumed to show the existence of a Walrasian equilibrium does not hold for price vectors in which at least one component is equal to zero. In this paper we provide a simple proof of...

Under the assumption that the utility function is real analytic, we construct a complete metric on the equilibrium manifold with fixed total resources such that a minimal geodesic joining any two regular equilibria intersects the set of critical equilibria in a finite number of points.

We consider an exchange economy with an atomless space of consumers whose preference relations need not be monotone. We prove that if for every commodity, there is a group of consumers who regard it as potentially desirable, in a sense to be made precise, then there exists a competitive...

This paper considers an economy populated by heterogeneous individuals in two respects: both parameters representing the subjective discount and the risk aversion rates are supposed to have a joint distribution. That is, consumers differ in their level of anxiety for present consumption and...
