In this paper, we consider a family of complete or incomplete Financial models such that the price processes of the Financial assets converge in distribution to those in a limit model. Different authors pointed out that we do not have necessarily convergence of the arbitrage pricing intervals in...

Motivated by an optimal investment problem under time horizon uncertainty and when default may occur, we study a general structure for an incomplete semimartingale model extending the classical terminal wealth utility maximization problem. This modelling leads to the formulation of a wealth-path...

The problem of fair pricing of contingent claims is well understood in the contex of an arbitrage free, complete financial market, with perfect information : the so-called arbitrage approach permits to construct a unique valuation operator compatible with observed price rocesses. In the more...

We consider a general discrete-time dynamic nancial market with three assets: a riskless bond, a security and a derivative. The market is incomplete (apriori) and at equilibrium. We assume also that the agents of the economy have short-sales constraints on the stock and that the payo at the...

We consider a complete financial market with primitive assets and derivatives on these primitive assets. Nevertheless, the derivative assets are non-redundant in the market, in the sense that the market is complete, only with their existence. In such a framework, we derive an equilibrium...

This paper analyses the effects of money shocks on macroeconomic aggregates in a tractable flexible-price, incomplete-markets environment that generates persistent wealth inequalities amongst agents. In this framework, current inflation redistribute wealth from the cash-rich employed to the...

We are interested in general equilibrium incomplete markets, where the number of consumers is N, the number of goods is L, and the dimension of the space of admissible trades is K (the case of complete markets being then K=(L−1)). We prove that, if N≥K, any non-vanishing analytic function...

This paper examines qualitative properties of efficient insurance contracts in the presence of background risk. In order to get results for all strictly risk-averse expected utility maximizers, the concept of “stochastic increasingness” is used. Different assumptions on the stochastic...

In this paper, we prove an existence theorem for approximated equilibria in a class of discontinuous economies. The existence result is a direct consequence of a discontinuous extension of Brouwer’s fixed point Theorem (1912), and is a refinement of several classical results in the standard...

This paper addresses partly an open question raised in the Handbook of Mathematical Economics about the orientability of the pseudo-equilibrium manifold in the basic two-period General Equilibrium with Incomplete Markets (GEI) model. For a broad class of explicit asset structures, it is proved...
