Nonstandard Exchange Economies,

Abstract

An exchange economy consists of a set of traders each of whom is characterized by an initial endowment and a preference relation. In addition, one usually assumes that the set of traders is finite. But in order to state theorems precisely concerning the asymptotic or limiting properties of the core--such theorems will be called limit theorems--economies have been studied which have an infinite number of traders. The concepts of interest, here the core and competitive equilibrium, can be defined even in infinite economies. (Author)
