Core Theory With Strongly Convex Preferences, Robert M. Anderson Jan 1981

Core Theory With Strongly Convex Preferences, Robert M. Anderson

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

We consider economies with preferences drawn from a very general class of strongly convex preferences, closely related to the class of convex (but intransitive and incomplete) preferences for which Mas-Colell proved the existence of competitive equilibria [13]. We prove a strong core limit theorem for sequences of such economies with a mild assumption on endowments (the largest endowment is small compared to the total endowment) and a uniform convexity condition. The results extend corresponding results in Hildenbrand’s book [8]. The proof, which is based on our earlier result for economies with more general preferences [2], is elementary.
