21 Examples of Completenes Constraints Markets with fast-and-slow information. Let {F t} t [0, ] be generated by two orthogonal martingales M 1 and M 2, and let S be the collection of all processes of the form S t = D t + M 1 t, where D is any predictable process of finite variation. For example, M 1 = B (Brownian motion), M 2 = N t t (compensated Poisson process) so that a typical element of S is given by Z S t = λ(u, B u, N u) du + db u. he information in B is fast, and that in N is slow. Another interesting situation: M 1 = B, M 2 = W, where B and W independent Brownian motions.

22 Analysis wo paths to existence Representative agents. Uses the fact that equilibrium allocations are Pareto optimal; works (essentially) only for complete markets. Literature in continuous time: Complete markets: Bank, Dana, Duffie, Huang, Karatzas, Lakner, Lehoczky, Riedel, Shreve, Ž., etc. Incomplete markets: Basak and Cuoco 98 (incompleteness from restrictions in stock-market participation, logarithmic utility) Excess-demand approach. Introduced by Walras (1874): 1. Establish good topological/convexity properties of the excess demand ˆπ(S), and then 2. use a suitable fixed-point-type theorem to show existence (Brouwer, KKM, degree-based, etc.) Literature in continuous time: none, really!

49 Generalized KKM theorem heorem. Let A be convex-compact subset of a VS X. Let {F (x)} x A be a family of closed and convex subsets of A such that conv(x 1,..., x n) n i=1f (x i), n N, x 1,..., x n A. hen x AF (x). he state of affairs Using the generalized KKM theorem, we can show existence of equilibria in many cases of some interest (it works for an infinity of agents, too). he requirement of (quasi)-convexity it places on the excess-demand function is a serious one. We are trying to sort the situation out (work in progress with Malamud, Anthropelos)... Kardaras ( 08) uses convex-compactness to give a general abstract framework for existence of numéraire portfolios.
