Yquilibrium: A Theory for (Non-) Convex Economies
General equilibrium, the cornerstone of modern economics and finance, rests on assumptions many markets do not meet. Spectrum auctions, electricity markets, and cap-and-trade programs for resource rights often feature non-convexities in preferences or production that can cause non-existence of Walrasian equilibrium and render general equilibrium vacuous. Yquilibrium complements general equilibrium with an optimization approach to (non-) convex economies that does not require perfect competition. Yquilibrium coincides with Walrasian equilibrium when the latter exists. Yquilibrium exists even if Walrasian equilibrium ceases to and produces optimal allocations subject to linear, anonymous, and (approximately) utility-clearing prices.

Tests of thermal macroeconomic theory on simulated micro-economies
In this paper, we test predictions of a new theory of macroeconomics, called "thermal macroeconomics." The theory aims to apply the mathematical structure of classical thermodynamics, including analogues of temperature a…
On the Uniqueness and Stability of the Equilibrium Price in Quasi-Linear Economies
In this paper, we show that if every consumer in an economy has a quasi-linear utility function, then the normalized equilibrium price is unique, and is locally stable with respect to the t\^atonnement process. Our study…
Stable allocations in discrete exchange economies
We study stable allocations in an exchange economy with indivisible goods. The problem is well-known to be challenging, and rich enough to encode fundamentally unstable economies, such as the roommate problem. Our approa…
Post-AGI Economies: Superposition and the Second Fundamental Theorem of Welfare Economics
The classical Second Welfare Theorem decentralizes any Pareto efficient allocation through prices and transfers under convexity and regularity. In post AGI economies, autonomy rights, self-modification, identity continui…
Cores in discrete exchange economies with complex endowments
The core is a traditional and useful solution concept in economic theory. But in discrete exchange economies without transfers, when endowments are complex, the core may be empty. This motivates Balbuzanov and Kotowski (…
