Competitive equilibrium allocations are indeterminate when the net trades in commodities are constrained, while the asset market is incomplete.

remains indeterminacy indexed by an arbitrary probability measure over the set of states of the world. With an interest rate … policy, and only if the asset market is complete, indeterminacy is nominal: it affects prices, but not the allocation of … resources at equilibrium; with a money-supply policy, the indeterminacy is real. Portfolio policy sets the portfolio of assets …

We study competitive equilibrium in sequential economies under limited commitment. Default induces permanent exclusion from financial markets and endogenously determined solvency constraints prevent debt repudiation. Our analysis shows that such an enforcement mechanism is essentially fragile,...

When the asset market is incomplete, competitive equilibria are constrained suboptimal, and there is scope for Pareto improving interventions. Price regulation, which operates anonymously, on market variables, can be such a Pareto improving policy, even when the welfare effects of rationing are...

At arbitrary prices of commodities and assets, fix-price equilibria exist under weak assumptions: endowments need not satisfy an interiority condition, utility functions need only satisfy a very weak monotonicity requirement, and the asset return matrix allows for redundant assets. Prices of...

When the asset market is incomplete, there typically exist taxes on trades in assets and a redistribution of revenue in the asset market that are Pareto improving. <p> The policy is anonymous, it economizes on complexity, and it results in ex post Pareto optimal allocations, it is publicly...</p>

The argument for the generic existence of competitive equilibria when the asset market is incomplete can be formulated with symmetric treatment of all individuals.
