Abstract: | The authors consider two-period, pure exchange economies with uncertainty and complete or incomplete asset markets. Assets are nominal. If the number of agents and of period-zero commodities is large enough, there is a dense, residual set of economies (parametrized by utility functions) such that, for each pair of distinct financial equilibria, spot zero equilibrium prices are different. Agents, observing first-period equilibrium prices, can formulate exact forecasts on future equilibrium prices, notwithstanding the real indeterminacy of the set of financial equilibria. |
