We provide a "computable counterexample" to the Arrow-Debreu competitive equilibrium existence theorem [2]. In particular, we find an exchange economy in which all components are (Turing) computable, but in which no competitive equilibrium is computable. This result can be interpreted as an...

Previous theoretical researches show that learning from good performers yields intense competition and results in the low profitability of firms. These researchers do not take into account differentiation strategies being referred as a useful strategic tool to mitigate competition. We introduce...

In A Mathematical Formulation of the Ricardian System, Pasinetti (1960) lays out the foundations of what has been dubbed the canonical classical model. He proves the model to be logically consistent and determinate in all its macro-economic features, and derives the solutions for all key...

We examine optimal effort choice in a competition model where the agents are averse to low relative status and to exerting excessive effort. The game has a unique pure strategy Nash equilibrium. When the agents are homogeneous, a stronger competition incentive induces higher effort levels and...

Considered are imperfectly discriminating contests in which players may possess private information about the primitives of the game, such as the contest technology, valuations of the prize, cost functions, and budget constraints. We find general conditions under which a given contest of...

Szidarovszky and Okuguchi (Games and Economic Behavior, 1997) have provided useful conditions for the existence of a unique pure-strategy Nash equilibrium in rent-seeking games of complete information. In this paper, we generalize their results to contests with incomplete informa tion. Two...

We investigate the welfare effect of increasing competition in an anonymous two-sided matching market, where matched … pairs play an infinitely repeated Prisoner's Dilemma. Higher matching efficiency is usually considered detrimental as it … creates stronger incentives for defection. We point out, however, that a reduction in matching frictions also increases …
