In this note, we study the problem of existence, uniqueness and determinacy of equilibrium in the two period mean-variance C.A.P.M. with a riskless asset and possibly an infinite number of assets. The existence, uniqueness and determinacy problem is brought down to a two-dimensional problem. We...

In this paper we first prove an equilibrium existence theorem for finite dimensional economies with unbounded below consumption sets. We only assume that the individually rational utility set is compact and use the demand approach instead of the standard Negishi's approach. We next compare the...

This paper explores risk-sharing and equilibrium in a general equilibrium set-up wherein agents are non-additive expected utility maximizers. We show that when agents have the same convex capacity, the set of Pareto-optima is independent of it and identical to the set of optima of an economy in...

Under a comonotonicity assumption between aggregate dividends and the market portfolio, the CCAPM formula becomes more tractable and more easily testable. In this paper, we provide theoretical justifications for such an assumption.

When the markets are dynamically complete and without imperfections there are three equivalent approaches in order to price a given asset : the arbitrage approach through the existence of a risk-neutral density, the utility approach through a utility maximization program and the equilibrium...

In this thesis, we propose to test a new behavioral explanation of the equity premium puzzle. This work is based on the heterogeneous beliefs model of Jouini and Napp (2007) according to which, pessimism of investors at the aggregate level leads to very important risk premiums. In this model,...

In this paper we prove the existence of general equilibrium with transaction costs generalizing Hahn's (Review of Economic Studies, 1973, 40, 449-461) model by introducing producers and nonconvexities (in particular we allow for increasing returns in transaction sets). We also recover any...
