Continuity of Equilibrium Hypermanifold in Economic Spacetime (memorandum)

NOTICE
  • DO NOT TRUST THE FOLLOWING
MOTIVATION
  • Existence of Walrasian equilibrium manifold depends on continuous contraction mapping in n-space of goods with non-negativity of price and quantity
  • Think in n+1-"spacetime" and see evolution along time or convergence to above manifold at a point of Ramsey's "bliss"
CONTINUITY OF TIME
  • I mean dt/dx in n+1-spacetime, or in adequately blown-ups of such spacetime
  • In other words, regularity of stochastic process
  • In other words, completeness of expectation
  • (added) dynamic constraints like transversality and no Ponzi game must be related to continuity of time
PROBLEM OF JUMP VARIABLES AND DIVERGENT PATH
  • "Walrasian equilibrium" in spacetime needs continuity of time
  • If no continuity of time is assured, generally divergent paths exist
  • ex-ante vs ex-post (realized state of economy is always continuous evolution of the past in ex-post)
  • how we treat ex-ante irregular changes as extra dimension added to continuous economic spacetime?
STRATEGIC FOUNDATION OF ECONOMIC DYNAMICS
  • existence of pay-off in infinitely repeated games follows from axiom of determinacy (Mycielski-Steinhaus(1962))
  • such axiomatics support is really needed? one serious problem is AD contradicts AC so it hurts Walrasian equilibrium thru Uzawa equivalence
