Majority stable production equilibria : a multivariate mean shareholders theorem

Author Info

Listed author(s):
  • CRES, Herve

Abstract

In a simple parametric general equilibrium model with S states of nature and K S/2. Finally, through parametric examples, these rates are shown to decrease with the homogeneity of the shareholders' beliefs on the probabilities of the states of nature, and to increase with the shareholders' pessimism.
