A Borel probability measure is residual if it gives measure zero to all meager subsets. We first give some existence results about this class of measures. Then they are applied in order to get some non-existence results for probability measures defined on Boolean algebras. This is done on the...

Let X be a topological space, m a probability measure defined on the Baire s -field on X, and m ' a probability measure on teh Borel s -field which extends m. In the first part of the paper we deal with the relations existing between the ranges of m and m. In particular, we show cases in which...

In this paper we considera continuous subjective expected unity model with a connected space of consequences (CSEU, for brevity). This class of models has recently received attention (see Wakker (1989)). Like in Savage (1954), we consider a finitely additive probability measure on a...

A coalitional game is a real-valued set function v defined on an algebra F of subsets of a space X such that v(0)=0. We prove the existence of a one-to-one correspondence between coalitional games bounded with respect to the composition norm and countably additive measures defined on an...

My own behavior baffles me. For I find myself not doing what I really want to do but doing what I really loathe." Saint Paul What behavior can be explained using the hypothesis that the agent faces temptation but is otherwise a standard rational agent"? In earlier work, GulPesendorfer [2001] use...

We study the dynamics of growth and investment in a continuous time model with vintage capital. Vintage capital models may be characterized by non-exponential rates of depreciation and technical change and can incorporate "gestation lags" as well as "learning by doing". We investigate the effect...

An independent private values model of trade with m buyers and m sellers is considered in which price is chosen to equate revealed demand and supply. In ever symmetric Bayesian Nash equilibrium, each trader does not act as a price-taker, but instead strategically misrepresents his true...

We study a class of two-player continuous time stochastic games in which agents can make (costly) discrete or discontinuous changes in the variables that affect their payoffs. It is shown that in these games there are Markov perfect equilibria of the two-sided (s,S) rule type. In such equilibria...

In this paper we study the relationship between wealth, income distribution and growth in a game-theoretic context in which property rights are not completely enforceable. We consider equilibrium paths of accumulation which yield players utilities that are at least as high as those that they...
