There are three types of "Anything Goes" results: two of them from economic theory and one from the realms of dynamical systems. The study considers the implications of such results and tries to identify conditions under which certain types of conclusions may be implied: convergence, cycles or...

We propose a formal way to systematically study the differential effects of exogenous shocks in economic models with heterogeneous agents. Our setting applies to models that can be rephrased as "competition for market shares" in a broad sense. We show that even in presence of any number of...

Under certain conditions on the excess demand function, it is shown that the set of equilibrium prices coincides with the set of maximizers of a potential function. Therefore, monotone comparative statics techniques can be employed to study how equilibrium prices change when there are shocks to...

This paper studies an economy whose agents perceive their consumption possibilities subjectively, and whose preferences are defined on what they subjectively experience, rather than on those alternatives that are objectively present. The model of agents' perceptions is based on intuitionistic...

We revisit a classical theme of general equilibrium theory, namely the continuity of the Walras correspondence. Using a remarkable theorem due to Fort (1951) which has widely been used in recent literature on game theory, we are able to prove the generic continuity of the price equilibrium-set...

In this paper we introduce basic notions of new economic model where preference relations on commodities set are represented by a group action on Euclidean space instead of utility function. Conditions that ensure the existence of individual demand functions and a general equilibrium in the...

An economy with ex ante markets for future delivery contingent on ex post spot market prices is considered. Since spot prices are publicly observed ex post, this framework bypasses the enforcement problems that may arise as a result of differential information about states of nature....

In the presence of events that are seen as ambiguous by all agents in an economy, if preferences are representable by expected uncertain utility functions (Gul and Pesendorfer, 2014), general equilibrium does not typically exist.

We study general equilibrium with private and incomplete state verification. Trade is agreed ex ante, that is, before private information is received. It is useful to define a list of bundles as a derivative good that gives an agent the right to receive one of the bundles in the list....

In this paper the existence of unemployment is partly explained as being the result of coordination failures. This is achieved by considering a standard general equilibrium model and splitting the set of commodities in two groups. The first group contains commodities like gold. The prices of...
