Abstract

We prove that every continuous value on a space of vector measure market games \(Q\), containing the space of nonatomic measures \(NA\), has the conic property, i.e., if a game \(v\in Q\) coincides with a nonatomic measure \(\nu \) on a conical diagonal neighborhood then \(\varphi (v)=\nu \). We deduce that every continuous value on the linear space \(\fancyscript{M}\), spanned by all vector measure market games, is determined by its values on \(\fancyscript{L}\fancyscript{M}\) - the space of vector measure market games which are Lipschitz functions of the measures.

Notes

  1. By abuse of notation.

  2. If \(v\in Q\) then we may always write \(v=f^\prime \circ \eta ^\prime \) with \(f^\prime \in M^{m^\prime }\) and \(\eta ^\prime \in \left( NA^1\right) ^{m^\prime }\) for some \(m^\prime \ge 2\).

  3. Obviously, \(\phi _i^n\) depends on our specific choice of \(\Pi _n\) for every \(n\ge 1\).

  4. The set \(J_n\) is defined as in Lemma 1.

  5. See [Dubey and Neyman (1984), Lemma 5.5, Equation (5.6)] and the discussion prior to [Dubey and Neyman (1984), Equation (5.7)] and [Dubey and Neyman (1984), Equation (5.8)]
