In an economy with a non-convex production sector, we provide an assumption on each individual producer, which implies that the survival assumption holds true at the aggregate level for general pricing rules. For the marginal pricing rule, we derive this assumption from the bounded marginal...

This paper deals with the existence of marginal pricing equilibria or equilibria with general pricing rules in an economy with increasing returns to scale or more general types of non convexities in production. Its main contribution is to posit the bounded loss and survival assumptions on a...

Existence results for equilibria in economies under increasing returns to scale, fixed costs, or showing more general types of non convexity in the production sector, strongly rest on a crucial condition, known as the survival assumption. This assumption is unsatisfactory in the sense that it...
