Abstract

This paper studies aggregation and a weak form of optimality referring to the p-weakly constrained Pareto efficiency (p-WE) in stochastic finance economies with incomplete markets. We derive a representative agent utility function maximized at equilibrium and a characterization of the set of p-WE allocations. Moreover, we establish the correspondence between the set of competitive equilibrium allocations and the set of p-WE allocations. It is noted that these are accomplished for general time-state utility functions and without restrictions on the initial resource allocations. Copyright Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013
