A note on the core

This note studies an exchange economy in which there are n traders and n “kinds” of commodities. Each trader has n utility functions corresponding to n “kinds” of commodities, respectively. Thus, a multiple non-transferable utility game can be derived from this exchange economy. It is shown that a sufficient condition for non-emptiness of the core of a multiple non-transferable utility game. The result is an extension of Scarf-Billera theorem.
