We introduce differential information in the asset market model studied by Cheng (1991), Dana and Le Van (1996) and Le Van and Truong Xuan (2001). An equilibrium existence result is proven assuming that the economy's information structure satisfies the conditional independency property. If...

This paper studies production economies having a locally convex topological vector commodity space ordered by a closed and generating convex come such that the order intervals are topologically bounded. The generally assumed lattice properties on the commodity-price duality are replaced by an...

We prove the existence of competitive equilibrium in a single-sector dynamic economy with heterogeneous agents and elastic labor supply. The method of proof relies on exploiting the existence of Lagrange multipliers in infinite dimensional spaces and the link between Pareto-optima and...

This paper mainly addresses why people are rationally willing to cooperate with one another to accept fiat money from the perspective of decentralized sequential general equilibrium framework by using dynamic game to determine agents' expectation of nominal prices in unrevealed future. The model...

Kiyotaki-Wright (1991, 1993) ensured fiat money's essentiality; but they abstract competition away. Therefore, Lagos-Wright (2005) added a frictionless centralized market to their model; however, their method should be improved. This paper directly substitutes perfectly competitive decentralized...

Private state-verification is introduced in a two-period economy with spot markets in both periods and complete futures markets for contingent delivery in the second period. Existence of equilibrium is established, under standard assumptions. The equilibrium allocation is shown to be generically...

An economy with ex ante markets for future delivery contingent on ex post spot market prices is considered. Since spot prices are publicly observed ex post, this framework bypasses the enforcement problems that may arise as a result of differential information about states of nature....

This chapter reviews the theory of the voluntary public and private redistribution of wealth elaborated by economic analysis in the last forty years or so. The central object of the theory is altruistic gift-giving, construed as benevolent voluntary redistribution of income or wealth. The theory...

Private state verification is introduced in a two-period economy with spot markets in both periods and complete futures markets for contingent delivery in the second period. Existence of equilibrium is established, under standard assumptions. An example is presented in which a complete set of...
