Self-fulfilling mechanisms and rational expectations
Article Abstract:
Self-fulfilling mechanisms have the capacity to deliver a game-theoretic foundation to rational expectations equilibrium. These incentive compatible mechanisms typify a category of communications equilibria wherein a similar public signal is received by all agents prior to formulating their choices. Allocations that were obtained through a self fulfilling mechanism in an exchange economy with differential information correspond to the allocations of the rational expectations equilibrium in a strategic market game.

On the endogeneity of Cournot-Nash and Stackelberg equilibria: Games of accumulation
Article Abstract:
The study characterizes equilibria of games with two properties, firstly the agents have the opportunity to adjust their strategic variable after their initial choices and before payoffs occur; and secondly they can only add to their initial amounts. This equilibrium set consists of just the Cournot-Nash outcome, one or both Stackberg outcomes, or a continuum of points including the Cournot-Nash outcome and one or both Stakelberg outcomes.

Star-shapedness of Richter-Aumann integral on a measure space with atoms: Theory and economic applications
Article Abstract:
The study conducted provides sufficient conditions for the integral of a correspondence defined on a measure space with atoms to exhibit star-shaped values. The results of the study is used to analyze the existence of a Nash equilibrium in games with a measure space of agents with atoms and of a competitive equilibrium in economies with mixed markets.
