The critical role of free entry to correct inherent deviance behavior has been stressed by Vanek (1970), Meade (1972) amongst others. The equivalence theorem (Dreze 1976) defines that labour and entrepreneurial management both lead to the same Pareto optimal equilibrium provided that there is...

Equilibrium conditions in smooth infinite economies with separable utilities are described by Fredholm maps, which are Frechet differentiable. Therefore, Smale's extension of Sard's theorem can be used to studying infinite economies. We study structural stability and local uniqueness of...

I summarize and extend my results establishing that limited arbitrage is necessary and sufficient for the existence of a competitive equilibrium and for the compactness of the Pareto frontier.

If a solution (on a closed family of games) satisfies dummy axiom (DUM) and independance of irrelevant strategies (IIS) then it also satisfies consistency (CONS) (proposition 2.21, Peleg and Tijs, 1996). The converse of this proposition is not true: CONS implies neither DUM nor IIS as shown in...

In the framework of the provision of one pure public good, we characterize the class of strategy-proof voting schemes on single-plateaued preferences over a convex and closed subset of the real line (the set of feasible levels of the public good).

The paper provides a general analysis of the types of models with E-Perturbations which have been used recently to discuss the evolution of social conventions. Two new measures of the size and structure of the basins of attraction of dynamic systems, the radius and coradius, are introduced in...
