This book assembles current theoretical contributions to monetary theory, banking and finance. The papers published in this collection span a wide variety of themes, from monetary policy to the optimal design of financial systems, from the study of the causes of financial crises to payment...

This book contains a collection of original and state-of-the-art contributions in rational choice and general equilibrium theory. Among the topics are preferences, demand, equilibrium, core allocations, and testable restrictions. The contributing authors are Daniel McFadden, Rosa Matzkin, Emma...

This book offers a unique, comprehensive, technically in-depth, and up-to-date treatment of modeling economic agreements by applying recent results of advanced algebras, representation theory, theory of categories, and transmutation theory. The importance of a new concept of agreements, as...

The twenty-nine papers selected for this volume cover topics in cooperative and noncooperative games, social choice and welfare, bargaining, matchings, auctions, mechanism design, general equilibrium, general equilibrium with finance, industrial organization, macroeconomics, and experimental...

This volume contains a collection of papers dealing with a broad range of topics in mathematical economics, game theory and economic dynamics. The contributions present both theoretical and applied research. The volume is dedicated to Mordecai Kurz. The papers were presented in a special...

This book is intended for the student or researcher who could benefit from functional analytic methods, but who does not have an extensive background and does not plan to make a career as an analyst. It develops topology, convexity, Banach lattices, integration, correspondences (multifunctions),...

The volume contains the proceedings of a conference in ma- thematical economics held at the California Institute of Technology, April 16-20, 1990.The theme of the conference was to explore the functional analytic techniques (and in particular the theory of Riesz spaces and positive opera- tors)...

This book presents the state-of-the-art in non-linear dynamics and sunspots. These two topics have been the core of an international conference on instability and public policies in a globalized world, organized at Aix-Marseille School of Economics and GREQAM in honor of Jean-Michel Grandmont....

The purpose of this monograph is to study several solution concepts such as the Walrasian Equilibrium, the Pareto opti- mality, the Core, the Nash Equilibrium and the Correlated equilibrium in the context of an infinite dimensional commodity or strategy space. Of course, the study of the above...

One of the main problems in current economic theory is to write contracts which are Pareto optimal, incentive compatible, and also implementable as a perfect Bayesian equilibrium of a dynamic, noncooperative game. The question arises whether it is possible to provide Walrasian type or...
