QUASIEQUILIBRIA IN ABSTRACT ECONOMIES - APPLICATION TO THE OVERLAPPING GENERATIONS MODEL

A definition and an existence result are given for quasiequilibria in abstract economies with a (possibly) countably infinite set of agents and infinite dimensional choice sets. Applied to the overlapping gener ations exchange model, this result allows us to prove the existence of equilibria when the commodity space in each period is some Euclidean space, L(infinity) or some L(p) (p greater-than-or-equal-to 1). The pr eferences of the agents may be interdependent and are not required to be transitive or complete. (C) 1994 Academic Press, Inc.
