Description
One of Britain's foremost economists led this collective effort by many other distinguished economists to extend the important Walrasian General Equilibrium Model which is at the core of modern economic analysis. The model is acknowledged as having left many important questions unanswered. This book provides answers that are of considerable relevance to our view of a decentralized economy. In particular it tackles the question of imperfect information and its effects on markets and economic agents' behaviour. The book raises general issues about incomplete markets; discusses some outstanding problems in game theory; discusses information and decision making; focuses on contracts, and on dynamics and intertemporal economics using overlapping generation models; and explores the relationship between micro and macro economics.

Description
This book aims to provide new insights into a range of theoretical economic issues and to extend the Walrasian General Equilibrium Model, which is at the core of modern economic analysis. The book identifies many gaps in theories, especially those concerned with imperfect information and its effect on markets and economic agents' behaviour. The book is divided into six parts: the first raises general issues about incomplete markets; the second discusses some outstanding problems in game theory; the third is concerned with information and decision-making; the fourth focuses on contracts; the fifth on dynamics and intertemporal economics using overlapping generations models and the sixth explores the relationship between micro and macro economics. The team of contributors includes a number of distinguished economists from Cambridge and the United States, as well as a group of younger researchers who have been members of a project entitled "Information, Risk and Quantity Signals in Economics", at the University of Cambridge.
