In this paper we prove the following fixed point theorem. Consider a non-empty bounded polyhedron P and a function f from P to P such that for every x in P with f(x) not equal to x there is a ball in P around x such that the inner product of f(y)-y and f(z)-z is nonnegative for any two elements...

Any function from a non-empty polytope into itself that is locally gross direction preserving is shown to have the fixed point property. Brouwer's fixed point theorem for continuous functions is a special case. We discuss the application of the result in the area of non-cooperative game theory.

This paper extends the recent literature on equilibria with coordination failures to arbitrary convex sets of admissible prices. We introduce a new equilibrium concept, called quantity constrained equilibrium (QCE), giving a unified treatment to all cases considered in the literature so far. At...
