Existence of Equilibrium of Plans, Prices, and Price Expectations in a Sequence of Markets

Abstract: Consider a sequence of markets for goods and securities at successive dates, with no market at any date complete in the Arrow-Debreu sense. A concept of common expectations is proposed that requires traders to associate the same future prices to the same future exogenous events, but does not require them to agree on the (subjective) probabilities associated with those events. An equilibrium is a set ofprices at the first date,a set ofcomrnon price expectations for the future, and a consistent set of individual… Show more

This idea extends the applicability of REED to the analysis of di¤erent climate scenarios with associated probability assessments, which would be relevant to study the economic impact of the rise in sea level.…”

“…Positive interest rates and bankruptcy penalties compactify the choice space by binding the potential transactions in the asset markets. Radner [50], instead, imposed artificial bounds on asset trades to show existence. The proof of the theorem also indicates that as the aggregate "outside" money becomes large then the necessary gains to trade for existence becomes arbitrarily large.…”

“…However, as the theorem asserts, such a Pareto improving intervention assumes no bankruptcy and binding capital requirements in the original equilibrium. When bankruptcy is allowed then a similar trade off exists as the one between severity of the bankruptcy code and efficiency 50 , but in this context the trade off is between regulatory policy and efficiency. The upshot of this discussion is that there exists optimal regulatory policy, which depends on the particular parameters of the economy.…”

“…Cette affirmation a effectivement un sens dans un monde defirst best ou premier rang: la décentralisation d'un optimum parétien intertemporel de premier rang requiert que les agents aient une anticipation rationnelle des prix futurs, au sens précis donné à ce mot par le concept d'équilibre de plans de prix et d'anticipations de prix dû à R. Radner (1972). Cette justification, qui repose sur une foi très leibnizienne dans les vertus de l'organisation du monde, perd en outre toute sa force dès lors que le meilleur des mondes est, comme disent les anglo-saxons, le «second meilleur» (le second best plutôt que \tfirst best), c'est-à-dire, en langage technique, lorsqu'on passe du monde du premier rang à celui du second rang, du moindre mal, du pis aller.…”
