In a setting where agents have quasi-linear utilities over social alternatives and a transferable commodity, we consider three properties that a social choice function may possess: truthful implementation (in dominant strategies); monotonicity in differences; lexicographic affine maximization....

An F-cone is a pointed and generating convex cone of a real vector space that is the union of a countable family of finite dimensional polyedral convex cones such that each of which is an extremel subset of the subsequent one. In this paper, we study securities markets with countably many...

We show that if K is a closed cone in a finite dimensional vector space X, then there exists a one-to-one linear operator T : X C [0,1] such that K is the pull-back cone of the positive cone of C [0,1], i.e., K = T -1 (C+ [0,1]). This problem originated from questions regarding arbitrage free...
