Abstract

Following up on the work of Megiddo and Vazirani [10], who determined continuity properties of equilibrium prices and allocations for perhaps the simplest market model, Fisher’s linear case, we do the same for:

  • Fisher’s model with piecewise-linear, concave utilities

  • Fisher’s model with spending constraint utilities

  • Arrow-Debreu’s model with linear utilities

  • Eisenberg-Gale markets.
