This book assembles current theoretical contributions to monetary theory, banking and finance. The papers published in this collection span a wide variety of themes, from monetary policy to the optimal design of financial systems, from the study of the causes of financial crises to payment...

This book contains a collection of original and state-of-the-art contributions in rational choice and general equilibrium theory. Among the topics are preferences, demand, equilibrium, core allocations, and testable restrictions. The contributing authors are Daniel McFadden, Rosa Matzkin, Emma...

This book is intended for the student or researcher who could benefit from functional analytic methods, but who does not have an extensive background and does not plan to make a career as an analyst. It develops topology, convexity, Banach lattices, integration, correspondences (multifunctions),...

This volume contains a collection of papers dealing with a broad range of topics in mathematical economics, game theory and economic dynamics. The contributions present both theoretical and applied research. The volume is dedicated to Mordecai Kurz. The papers were presented in a special...

We study an infinite-horizon economy with two basic frictions that are typical in monetary models. First, agents' trading paths cross at most once due to pairwise trade and other meeting obstacles. Second, actions must be compatible with individual incentives due to commitment and enforcement...

This work introduces a set-theoretic foundation of deterministic bilateral matching processes and studies their properties. In particular, it formalizes a link between matching and informational constraints by developing a notion of anonymity that is based on the agents' matching histories. It...

The volume contains the proceedings of a conference in ma- thematical economics held at the California Institute of Technology, April 16-20, 1990.The theme of the conference was to explore the functional analytic techniques (and in particular the theory of Riesz spaces and positive opera- tors)...

This book is intended for the student or researcher who could benefit from functional analytic methods, but who does not have an extensive background and does not plan to make a career as a functional analyst. It develops topology, convexity, Banach lattices, integration, correspondences...

This book offers a unique, comprehensive, technically in-depth, and up-to-date treatment of modeling economic agreements by applying recent results of advanced algebras, representation theory, theory of categories, and transmutation theory. The importance of a new concept of agreements, as...

Presents a study of modern functional analysis. This book is intended for the student or researcher who could benefit from functional analytic methods. It develops the topological structures in connection with measure theory, convexity, Banach lattices, integration, correspondences...
