This paper discusses necessary optimality conditions for multi-objective optimization problems with application to theSecond Theorem of Welfare Economics. We use the extremal principle, since we consider non-convex sets non-smooth functions.Particularly, we develop a slight generalization of the main result of A. Jofré and J. Rivera Cayupi [A nonconvex separationproperty and some applications, Math. Program. 108 (2006) 37-51], which allows more flexibility in a stochastic economy with production and stock market. Formally, we define a stock market equilibrium through the necessary optimality conditions at a constrained Pareto optimal allocation. We show that the Second Theorem of Welfare Economics holds in a two-period framework.But, by mean of an example, we show that this later result is no longer true for multi-period economies.
