In a multiperiod economy with incomplete markets and assets that exhibit a payoff depending on price history, we show that one need not perturb back office and settlement feature of assets to get endowment generic existence of an equilibrium. We exhibit a class of assets -transverse assets - and...

The empirical evidence on sources of corporate financing strongly suggests that firms prefer internally generated funds to debt and debt to equity in financing their investment activities. What is the economic rationale for this preference ordering or pecking order? We provide an explanation...

Traditional trade models ignoring the dimension of product quality generally lead to excessively low trade price elasticities. In this paper, we show that higher estimated trade price elasticities, more in conformity with theory, can be obtained by controlling product quality in trade equations....

We develop here a framework of cross currency arbitrage in the presence of a currency peg. In particular the relationship between interest rate and FX derivatives is analysed in such a framework.

The general purpose of this paper is to prove quasiequilibrium existence theorems for production economies with general consumption sets in an infinite dimensional commodity space, without assuming any monotonicity of preferences or free-disposal in production.

We study a class of exchange economies where the characteristics of the agent are fixed but the initial endowments. We define a notion of regular economies which encompasses the different approach of the literature. We then prove that a regular exchange economy has a finite odd number of...

In this paper we first prove an equilibrium existe 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...
