How far can we go in weakening the assumptions of the general equilibrium model? Existence of equilibrium, structural stability and finiteness of equilibria of regular economies, genericity of regular economies and an index formula for the equilibria of regular economies have been known not to...

We explore the dynamics of demand for n designs of a good when agents have preferences for (anti-)conformity. Agents … lower status, relative to her own status. In each period, every agent chooses a design given each agent's demand in the … previous period. We show that demand dynamics resemble fashion cycles: Total demand for each design over time is repetitively …

Interpreting depreciation as transfer of value from capital to produced items connects a large part of consumer preferences with the producing structure and sets a two-way relationship between the individual and the economy. Capital imbues commodities with modernity and signification qualities...

In Arrow's seminal analysis of optimal risk bearing in which he introduced contingent claim securities, he assumed preferences were representable by a state independent Expected Utility function. Although the classic contingent claim setting assumes agents choose over contingent consumption...

We show that the Hicksian welfare measures of compensating variation and equivalent variation coincide if one of them is evaluated at a compensated income. The measures are nondecreasing in income if the varied attribute and income are complementary, and indirect utility is concave in income....

Maniadis et al. (2013) present a theoretical framework that aims at providing insights into the mechanics of proper inference. They suggest that a decision about whether to call an experimental finding noteworthy, or deserving of great attention, should be based on the calculated post-study...
