We combine general equilibrium theory and théorie générale of stochastic processes to derive structural results about equilibrium state prices.

Estimating continuous-time short-rate models is challenging since the likelihood function for most popular models is unknown. While approximate likelihood functions are often used, this practice induces bias into the estimation process. This paper explores a Bayesian method of estimating...

The Kyle (1985) and Back (1992) model of continuous-time asset pricing with asymmetric information is studied. A larger class of price processes is considered, namely price processes that allow the price to depend in a certain way on the path of the market order. A no expected (or inconspicuous...

We study the existence of equilibria with endogenously complete markets in a continuous-time, heterogenous agents economy driven by a multidimensional diffusion process. Our main results show that if prices are real analytic as functions of time and the state variables of the model then a suffi-...

We propose a formal concept of the power of voice in the context of a simple model where individuals form groups and trade in competitive markets. Individuals use outside options in two different ways. Actual outside options reflect the possibility to exit or to join other existing groups....

In a general model of trading networks with bilateral contracts, we propose a suitably adapted chain stability concept that plays the same role as pairwise stability in two-sided settings. We show that chain stability is equivalent to stability if all agents' preferences are jointly fully...

This paper analyzes a class of competitive economies with production, incomplete financial markets, and agency frictions. Firms take their production, financing, and contractual decisions so as to maximize their value under rational conjectures. We show that competitive equilibria exist and that...

Let assets be denominated in an a priori specified numeraire. Whether or not the asset is complete, a competitive equilibrium exists as long as arbitrage is possible when assets are free. Generically, the set of competitive equilibria is finite, and the equilibrium prices and allocations in the...
