With the aim to mitigate the possibleproblem of negativity in the estimation of the conditionaldensity function, we introduce a so-called re-weightedNadaraya-Watson (RNW) estimator. The proposed RNWestimator is constructed by a slight modificationof the well-known Nadaraya-Watson...

We include initial holdings in the jungle economy of Piccione and Rubinstein (Economic Journal, 2007) and relax the assumptions on consumption sets and preferences. We show that initial holdings are irrelevant for lexicographic welfare maximization. Equilibria other than such maximizers can be...
