Abstract

We study an exchange economy comprising $n$ agents,where the excess demands by the agents are random variables. We show that under certain conditions the set of price equilibria is nonempty. We also prove a theorem concerning the convergence of the random price equilibria toward the price equilibria of an associated “expectation economy.”
