In this paper we generalize Magill and Shafer's analysis of generically complete markets in the presence of an open-ended horizon. Until now, the genericity argument in Duffie and Shafer has no satisfactory generalisation to the case of an open ended horizon. These difficulties are threefold:...

The endogeneity of preferences implies that not only individual preferences -along with technologies, government policies, and the organization of society and markets- determine economic outcomes, but also that the economic, social, legal, and cultural structure of society affects preferences....

Individuals exchange contracts for the delivery of commodities in competitive markets and, simultaneously, act strategically; actions affect utilities across individuals directly or through the payoffs of contracts. This encompasses economies with asymmetric information, Nash-Walras equilibria...

We investigate sunspot equilibria in a static, one-commodity model with taxes and transfers denominated in money units. Volatility in this economy is purely monetary, since the only uncertainty is about the price level. We construct simple, robust examples of sunspot equilibria that are not mere...

Static competitive equilibria in economies with incomplete markets are generically constrained suboptimal. Allocations induced by strategic equilibria of imperfectly competitive markets are also generically inefficient. In both cases, there is scope for Pareto-improving amendments. Considering...

The purpose of this paper is to present an application of a cach flow-based Contingent Claims Analysis (CCA) to equity valuation. The cach flow-based Contingent Claims Analysis is used to extend a traditional CCA toproblems with incomplete capital markets, overreacted markets of situations where...

In the context of standard two-period pure-exchange economies with sequential trade, this paper proposes a decentralized coordination mechanism for equilibriumexpectations, facilitated by local interactions between agents. Interactions are modelled stochastically by specifying a family of...
