The purpose of the paper is to argue that exogenous changes lowering wages may imply an increase of unemployment. To support that viewpoint, we use a general equilibrium approach. In that framework, we substitute the labour market clearing equation, which by very definition insures full...

We consider a model with real assets and restricted participation described by household-specific price-dependent short selling constraints. We show existence of equilibria for all elements in an explicitly characterized large subset of the set of economies. Copyright Springer-Verlag Italia 2014

We consider a pure exchange, general equilibrium model, with two periods and a finite number of states, commodities, numeraire assets, and households. Participation in the asset markets is restricted in a household specific manner, imposing upper bounds on the amounts of borrowing which can be...

We consider an incomplete market model with numeraire assets. Each household faces an individual constraint on its participation in the asset market. In related literature, the constraint is described by a function whose sole argument is the asset portfolio. On the contrary, in our analysis the...
