    • Ambiguity aversion in the long run: "to disagree, we must also agree" 

      Araújo, Aloísio Pessoa de; Silva, Pietro da; Faro, José Heleno
      2016-09
      We consider an economy populated by smooth ambiguity-averse agents with complete markets of securities contingent to economic scenarios, where bankruptcy is permitted but there is a penalty for it. We show that if agents' ...
    • Catalog competition and Nash equilibrium in nonlinear pricing games 

      Monteiro, Paulo Klinger; Page Junior, Frank H.
      2008-03
      We model strategic competition in a market with asymmetric information as a noncooperative game in which each seller competes for a buyer of unknown type by offering the buyer a catalog of products and prices. We call this ...
    • The costs and benefits of leaving the EU: trade effects 

      Dhingra, Swati; Huang, Hanwei; Ottaviano, Gianmarco; Pessoa, João Paulo; Sampson, Thomas; Van Reenen, John
      2017-10
      Sampson and John Van Reenen?> This paper estimates the welfare effects of Brexit in the medium to long run, focusing on trade and fiscal transfers. We use a standard quantitative general equilibrium trade model with many ...
    • Cournot-nash equilibria in continuum games with non-ordered preferences 

      Rocha, Vitor Filipe Martins da; Topuzu, Mihaela
      2008-05
      In the usual framework of continuum games with externalities, we substantially generalize Coumot-Nash existence results [Balder, A unifying approach to existence of Nash equilibria, Int. J.Game Theory 24 (1995) 79-94; On ...
    • Determinacy of equilibria in nonsmooth economies 

      Pascoa, Mario Rui; Werlang, Sérgio Ribeiro da Costa
      1999-11
      Concavifiable preferences are representable by a function which is twice differentiable almost everywhere, by theorem of Alexandroff [Alexandroff, A.D., 1939. Almost Everywhere Existence of Second Differentials of Convex ...
    • Endogenous mechanisms and nash equilibrium in competitive contracting games 

      Monteiro, Paulo Klinger; Page Junior, Frank H.
      2009-09-20
      We model strategic competition in a market with asymmetric information as a noncooperative game in which each firm competes for the business of a buyer of unknown type by offering the buyer a catalog of products and prices. ...
    • Equilibria in reflexive banach lattices with a continuum of agents 

      Araújo, Aloísio Pessoa de; Rocha, Vitor Filipe Martins da; Monteiro, Paulo K.
      2004-10
      We consider exchange economies with a measure space of agents and for which the commodity space is a separable and reflexive Banach lattice. Under assumptions imposing uniform bounds on marginal rates of substitution, ...
    • Equilibrium with default and endogenous collateral 

      Araújo, Aloísio Pessoa de; Orrillo, J.; Pascoa, Mario Rui
      2000-01
      We study a two-period general equilibrium model with incomplete asset markets and default. We make collateral endogenous by allowing each seller of assets to fix the level of collateral. Sellers are required to provide ...
    • Existence of an equilibrium for infinite horizon economies with and without complete information 

      Raad, Rodrigo Jardim
      2012-08
      This work proves the existence of an equilibrium for an infinite horizon economy where trade takes place sequentially over time. There exist two types of agents: the first correctly anticipates all future contingent ...
    • Financial markets with endogenous transaction costs 

      Martins-da-Rocha, Victor Filipe; Vailakis, Yiannis
      2010-10
      The paper proposes an alternative general equilibrium formulation of financial asset economies with transaction costs. Transaction costs emerge endogenously at equilibrium and reflect agents' decisions of intermediating ...
    • General equilibrium with endogenous securities and moral hazard 

      Braido, Luís Henrique Bertolino
      2005-07
      This paper studies a class of general equilibrium economies in which the individuals' endowments depend on privately observed effort choices and the financial markets are endogenous. The environment is modeled as a two-stage ...
    • General equilibrium, wariness and efficient bubbles 

      Araújo, Aloísio Pessoa de; Novinski, Rodrigo; Pascoa, Mario Rui
      2011-05
      Wary consumers overlook gains but not losses in remote sets of dates or states. As preferences are upper but not lower Mackey semi-continuous, Bewley's (1972) [4] result on existence of equilibrium whose prices are not ...
    • The general existence of extended price equilibria with infinitely many commodities 

      Araújo, Aloísio Pessoa de; Monteiro, P. K.
      1994-08
      This paper deals with the existence of equilibria with infinitely many goods. Its main goal is to show that when restricted to the set of feasible allocations there exists an economically meaningful price (in the sense ...
    • Incomplete markets, continuum of states and default 

      Araújo, Aloísio Pessoa de; Monteiro, P. K.; Pascoa, Mario Rui
      1998-01
      We show that when bankruptcy, subject to penalties, is allowed, it is possible to prove the existence of equilibrium in a model with a continuum of states without imposing any assumptions on ex-post endowments.
    • Inconsequential arbitrage 

      Page Junior, Frank H.; Wooders, Myrna H.; Monteiro, P. K.
      2000-12
      We introduce the concept of inconsequential arbitrage and, in the context of a model allowing short-sales and half-lines in indifference surfaces, prove that inconsequential arbitrage is sufficient for existence of ...
    • Large economies with differential information and without free disposal 

      Angeloni, Laura; Rocha, Vitor Filipe Martins da
      2009-02
      We consider exchange economies with a continuum of agents and differential information about finitely many states of nature. It was proved in Einy et al. (Econ Theory 18, 321-332, 2001) that if we allow for free disposal ...
    • Long-lived collateralized assets and bubbles 

      Araújo, Aloísio Pessoa de; Pascoa, Mario Rui; Torres-Martinez, Juan Pablo
      2011-05
      When infinite-lived agents trade long-lived assets secured by durable goods, equilibrium exists without any additional debt constraints or uniform impatience conditions on agents' characteristics. Also, price bubbles are ...
    • Non-marketed options, non-existence of equilibria, and non-linear prices 

      Aliprantis, Charalambos D.; Monteiro, Paulo Klinger; Tourky, Rabee
      2004-02
      This paper presents a surprising example that shows that the lattice theoretic properties in Mas-Colell's (1986) seminal work are relevant to the existence of equilibrium even when the commodity space is finite dimensional. ...
    • On the convergence to homogeneous expectations when markets are complete 

      Araújo, Aloísio Pessoa de; Sandroni, Alvaro
      1999-05
    • Pure strategy equilibria of single and double auctions with interdependent values 

      Araújo, Aloísio Pessoa de; Castro, Luciano Irineu de
      2009-01
      We prove the existence of monotonic pure strategy equilibrium for many kinds of asymmetric auctions with n bidders and unitary demands, interdependent values and independent types. The assumptions require monotonicity only ...
