In this paper we introduce basic notions of new economic model where preference relations on commodities set are represented by a group action on Euclidean space instead of utility function. Conditions that ensure the existence of individual demand functions and a general equilibrium in the...

We study the problem of finding necessary and sufficient conditions that guarantee global uniqueness of equilibria in a pure exchange economy. We show that for every economy to have a unique equilibrium it is necessary and sufficient that (i) there are no critical economies and (ii) a compact...

Ken Arrow (1998) asks, “What has economics to say about racial discrimination?” He replies – entirely correctly – that racial “segregation within an industry – that is, firms with either all black or all white labor forces” – may be explained by economic theory, but “the...

This paper attempts to explore the nature of the goods in a Two Commodity world. The analysis suggests that the only possibility that the two goods have same income elasticity is the case when both goods have unit income elasticities. Moreover, if both the goods have equal income elasticities,...

In a smooth pure exchange economy with fixed total resources we investigate whether the smooth selection property holds when endowments are redistributed across consumers through a continuous (non local) redistribution policy. We show that if the policy is regular then there exists a unique...

This paper deals with generic determinacy of equilibria for infinite dimensional consumption spaces. Our work could be seen as an infinite-dimensional analogue of Dierker and Dierker (1972), by characterising equilibria of an economy as a zero of the aggregate excess demand, and studying its...

In a pure exchange smooth economy with fixed total resources, we de- fine the length between two regular equilibria belonging to the equilibrium manifold as the number of intersection points of the evolution path connecting them with the set of critical equilibria. We show that there exists a...

We construct an index theorem for smooth infinite economies with separable utilities that shows that generically the number of equilbria is odd. As a corollary, this gives a new proof of existence and gives conditions that guarantee global uniqueness of equilibria.

The main purpose of this paper is to remark that any definable continuous path linking two regular equilibria in a regular O-minimal equilibrium manifold intersects a finite number of definable connected components locally determined. We apply the cell decomposition theorem to decompose the...

The main purpose of this paper is to outline that the definable Debreu map is a local definable diffeomorphism. It implies the equilibrium is locally determined in each connected component partitioning a regular O-minimal equilibrium manifold. It complements the result in Theorem 5 of Arias-R....
