A dynamic pure-exchange general equilibrium model with uncertainty is studied. Fundamentals are supposed to depend continuously on states of nature. It is shown that: 1. if financial markets are complete, then asset prices vary continuously with states of nature, and; 2. if financial markets are...

Hart has established necessary and su¢ cient conditions for the existence of equilibrium in an economy consisting of two time periods in which agents trade assets whose returns depend on an uncertain state of nature. Hammond has enounced an equivalent condition from an alternative approach to...

We consider a two-date model of a financial exchange economy with finitely many agents having nonordered preferences and portfolio constraints. There is a market for physical commodities at any state today or tomorrow and financial transfers across time and across states are allowed by means of...

Market liquidity is typically characterized by a number of ad hoc metrics, such as depth (or market impact), volume, intermediation costs (such as breadth) etc. No general coherent denition seems to exist, and few attempts have been made to justify the existing metrics on welfare grounds. In...

We consider the model of a financial exchange economy with finitely many periods having financial restricted participation i.e., each agents portfolio choice is restricted to a closed convex set containing zero, as in Siconolfi [1989]. Time and uncertainty are represented by a finite event-tree....

We consider a 2-date model of a financial exchange economy with finitely many agents having non-ordered preferences and portfolio constraints. There is a market for physical commodities for every state today and tomorrow, and financial transfers across time and states are allowed by means of...

We consider the two-date model of a financial exchange economy (E,F), with agents’ portfolio restrictions either represented by finitely many linear inequality constraints or satisfying Hart’s (1974) Weak No Market Arbitrage condition. The economy (E,F) is shown to have the same consumption...

This paper analyzes how insurance companies allow the issue of market incompleteness to be overcome. A general equilibrium economy is considered in which heterogeneous agents face endowment risks. Markets are incomplete: there are only markets for trading commodities ex-post and hedging price...
