The optimistic stability of the core of mixed markets

Joseph Greenberg, Benyamin Shitovitz

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We show that the core mapping of a mixed market is the unique optimistic stable standard of behavior for the core situation. That is, an allocation belongs to the core of a market if and only if there exists no allocation in the core of a submarket that blocks it.
