The article analyzes the Dynkin (1975) stochastic model of economic equilibrium. We solve a question regarding this model that was open for a long time. We provide arguments yielding a complete proof of Dynkin's existence theorem for equilibrium paths.

This paper deals with risk-sharing problems between many agents, each of whom having a strictly concave law invariant utility. In the special case where every agent's utility is given by a concave integral functional of the quantile of her individual endowment, we fully characterize the optimal...

This paper characterizes the core of a differentiable convex distortion of a probability measure on a nonatomic space by identifying it with the set of densities which dominate the derivative of the distortion, for second order stochastic dominance. The densities that have the same distribution...

Efficient risk-sharing rules and equilibria between two agents with utilities in a class that contains the Rank Dependent Expected Util- ity (RDU) are fully characterized. Specific attention is given to the RDU. Call-spreads and contracts with mixed regimes are shown to be efficient....

We consider a class of law invariant utilities which contains the Rank Dependent Expected Utility (RDU) and the cumulative prospect theory (CPT). We show that the computation of demand for a contingent claim when utilities are within that class, although not as simple as in the Expected Utility...
