Monopolistic behaviors and general equilibrium: a generalization of Nikaido's work

Author

  • Stahn, Hubert

Abstract

This paper exhibits alternative conditions that ensure the existence of a general equilibrium with price-making firms in pure as well as in mixed strategies. The firms as in Nikaido's early work are considered as having a perfect knowledge of their demand. The existence of an objective demand is proved in a more general setting than the one used by Nikaido. Moreover to weaken the assumptions which guarantee the existence of an objective demand, I introduce a continuous random demand and prove its generic existence
