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...

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 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

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.

In this paper we characterize metric spaces used in Beardon's generalization of Arrow-Hahn utility representation method as generalized Peano continua. For continuous preference relations defined on such metric spaces, we further construct an upper semi-continuous utility function which...

The main purpose of the paper is to show that the process of household formation in a competitive market does not necessarily lead to outcomes that are efficient at the economy level, even assuming that members of each household take efficient collective consumption decisions. To this end, we...

Let (S, B, G ) and (T, C,Q) be probability spaces, with Q nonatomic, and H = {h in C : Q(H) 0}. In some economic models, the following conditional law of large numbers (LLN) is requested. There are a probability space (O,A,P) and a process X = {Xt : t in T}, with state space (S, B), satisfying...
