A Theory Of Money And Financial Institutions. Part Iii. The Missing Degree Of Freedom: Commodity Money And Oligopoly In A General Equilibrium Model, Martin Shubik Dec 1971

A Theory Of Money And Financial Institutions. Part Iii. The Missing Degree Of Freedom: Commodity Money And Oligopoly In A General Equilibrium Model, Martin Shubik

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

It is suggested that an extra degree of freedom is needed to construct a symmetric noncooperative price game in a market with n monopolists trading in n goods. This calls for the introduction of an n+1 good which can be interpreted as a commodity money. Where there are n monopolists using a commodity money in common a symmetric price or quantity noncooperative game can be constructed. The quantity game is examined. Necessary conditions are shown for the replicated game to have its noncooperative equilibria approach the competitive equilibria of the replicated market. It is demonstrated that unless there is “enough” …

On The Scope Of Gaming, Martin Shubik Sep 1971

On The Scope Of Gaming, Martin Shubik

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Gaming and simulation mean different things to different people. Currently there exist separate schools of individuals working on interrelated but basically different areas. Each have their own special goals and terminology. Yet there is a sufficient overlap among them that it is important to clarify the common and different interests and terminology. The general topic of gaming is ripe for an examination to see to what extent there exists a basic methodology and theory of gaming. This paper addresses itself, in part to this problem. Different types of games and different purposes are discussed. It is stressed that there is …

Duality Theory Of Convex Programming For Infinite Horizon Economic Models, Martin L. Weitzman Sep 1971

Duality Theory Of Convex Programming For Infinite Horizon Economic Models, Martin L. Weitzman

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

The present state of convex programming theory for infinite horizon free endpoint economic models is not entirely satisfactory. Roughly speaking, classical duality principles can be shown to apply tof inite subsections of an optimal trajectory and this avoids classical inefficiencies of the finite horizon variety. But it has never been completely clear how to avoid the kind of non-optimality which results from piling up too much “left over” capital in the limit. While certain rule of thumb “transversality conditions” have been proposed by analogy with finite horizon models, they have not in general been put on a rigorous footing and …
