Abstract

[fre] Équilibre général de dons individuels. . Nous étudions les propriétés d'un système social comprenant plusieurs agents, possédant chacun une dotation initiale en un bien de consommation unique (le revenu). Chaque agent est susceptible de consommer ou de donner tout ou partie de la fraction de revenu qu'il possède à l'origine ou du fait d'un don. Ses préférences sont définies sur l'ensemble des allocations, et strictement croissantes en sa propre consommation. Il choisit ses dons de manière à maximiser son utilité sous contrainte de ressource, en considérant les dons des autres agents comme donnés. Un équilibre général de dons individuels est un équilibre de ce jeu non coopératif de Nash. On étudie les propriétés normatives et positives de l'équilibre. On fournit en particulier une caractérisation de l'équilibre à l'aide d'un concept original, l'(i, j)-maximum. La généralisation de ces résultats au cas d'une économie comprenant plusieurs biens et un marché de concurrence pure est parfaite est également discutée. [eng] General equilibrium of individual gifts . . We study the properties of a social system with several agents, each one possessing an initial endowment of a unique consumption good (the income). Each agent can consume or give any proportion of the fraction of total income that he possesses from the origin or from a gift. His preferences are defined on the allocation set, and strictly increasing in his own consunption. He chooses his gifts so as to maximize his utility subject to his resource constraint, considering the others'gifts as given. A general equilibrium of indi- vidual gifts is an equilibrium of that Nash-non cooperative game. We study the normative and positive properties of equilibrium. We provide in particular a characterization of equilibrium, based on an original concept, the (i, j)-maximum. The generalization of these results to the case of an economy including several goods and trade on perfect markets is discussed eventually.
