7. Production Economy

Note

本章导读 本章把交换经济推广到含生产的经济:\(J\) 家厂商各有生产集 \(Y^j\)(允许负分量表示投入),消费者按份额 \(\theta^{ij}\) 拥有厂商。Assumption 2(非空、紧、强凸=规模报酬递减)下证明厂商利润最大化解存在唯一且连续(Thm 7.1),消费者侧含利润收入 \(m^i(\mathbf{p})\)(Thm 7.2);定义生产经济的瓦尔拉斯均衡(Def 7.3)与超额需求(Def 7.4),证明均衡存在(Thm 7.3)。最后给出生产经济的第一福利定理(Thm 7.4/7.5,含核 Def 7.7)与第二福利定理(Thm 7.6,借一次性转移 \(T_i\) 与梯度比价支撑)。

7. Production Economy

Note

Overview This chapter extends the exchange economy to one with production: \(J\) firms each have a production set \(Y^j\) (negative components denote inputs), and consumers own firms by shares \(\theta^{ij}\). Under Assumption 2 (non-empty, compact, strongly convex = decreasing returns to scale), we prove the firm's profit-maximizing solution exists, is unique and continuous (Thm 7.1), and the consumer side includes profit income \(m^i(\mathbf{p})\) (Thm 7.2); we define the Walrasian equilibrium of the production economy (Def 7.3) and excess demand (Def 7.4), and prove existence (Thm 7.3). Finally we give the production economy's First Welfare Theorem (Thm 7.4/7.5, with the core Def 7.7) and Second Welfare Theorem (Thm 7.6, supported by lump-sum transfers \(T_i\) and gradient-ratio prices).

7.1 Set-up

  • 有 \(n\) 种商品;
  • 有 \(J\) 家厂商,每家 \(j\in\mathcal{J}\)(\(\mathcal{J}=\{1,2,\dots,J\}\))有生产集 \(Y^j\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n\);任意向量 \(\mathbf{y}^j=(y_1^j,y_2^j,\dots,y_n^j)\in Y^j\) 是厂商 \(j\) 的一个可行生产计划。

7.1 Set-up

  • There are \(n\) goods;
  • There are \(J\) firms; each firm \(j\in\mathcal{J}\) (\(\mathcal{J}=\{1,2,\dots,J\}\)) has a production set \(Y^j\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n\); any vector \(\mathbf{y}^j=(y_1^j,y_2^j,\dots,y_n^j)\in Y^j\) is a feasible production plan for firm \(j\).
Tip

注记 7.1 / Remark 7.1 注意 \(Y^j\) 的定义域是 \(\mathbb{R}^n\) 而非 \(\mathbb{R}_+^n\),即 \(Y^j\) 中的向量可有负分量。约定:若 \(y_k^j<0\),则 \(|y_k^j|\) 为厂商 \(j\) 用作投入的商品 \(k\) 的数量;若 \(y_k^j>0\),则 \(y_k^j\) 为厂商 \(j\) 作为产出生产的商品 \(k\) 的数量。Note the domain of \(Y^j\) is \(\mathbb{R}^n\) instead of \(\mathbb{R}_+^n\), which means vectors in \(Y^j\) can have negative elements. Our convention: if \(y_k^j<0\), then \(|y_k^j|\) is the amount of good \(k\) used by firm \(j\) as input; if \(y_k^j>0\), then \(y_k^j\) is the amount of good \(k\) produced by firm \(j\) as output.

  • 消费者完全拥有所有厂商。令 \(\theta^{ij}\in[0,1]\) 为消费者 \(i\) 对厂商 \(j\) 的所有权份额,\(\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\theta^{ij}=1\)(\(\forall j\in\mathcal{J}\))。每家厂商 \(j\) 的利润按份额分配给消费者。
  • 交换经济的其他设定仍成立:\(I\) 个消费者 \(\mathcal{I}=\{1,\dots,I\}\),禀赋 \(\mathbf{e}^i\in\mathbb{R}_+^n\),偏好 \(u^i:\mathbb{R}_+^n\to\mathbb{R}\)。
  • 私有制生产经济定义为 \(\mathcal{E}=(u^i,\mathbf{e}^i,\theta^{ij},Y^j)_{i\in\mathcal{I},j\in\mathcal{J}}\)。

7.2 Important assumptions about production sets

  • Consumers completely own all firms. Let \(\theta^{ij}\in[0,1]\) be consumer \(i\)'s ownership share of firm \(j\), with \(\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\theta^{ij}=1\) for \(\forall j\in\mathcal{J}\). The profits of each firm \(j\) are distributed to consumers in proportion to ownership shares.
  • The other set-up for the exchange economy holds: \(I\) consumers \(\mathcal{I}=\{1,\dots,I\}\), endowment \(\mathbf{e}^i\in\mathbb{R}_+^n\), preferences \(u^i:\mathbb{R}_+^n\to\mathbb{R}\).
  • A production economy with private ownership is defined by \(\mathcal{E}=(u^i,\mathbf{e}^i,\theta^{ij},Y^j)_{i\in\mathcal{I},j\in\mathcal{J}}\).

7.2 Important assumptions about production sets

Important

Assumption 2 & Definition 7.1(strongly convex) 对 \(\forall j\in\mathcal{J}\):1.(非空)\(\mathbf{0}\in Y^j\);2.(紧性)\(Y^j\) 闭且有界,故紧;3.(规模报酬递减)\(Y^j\) 强凸。
Def 7.1(强凸):\(Y^j\) 强凸,若对 \(\forall\mathbf{y}^1,\mathbf{y}^2\in Y^j\)(\(\mathbf{y}^1\ne\mathbf{y}^2\))及 \(\forall t\in(0,1)\),\(\exists\bar{\mathbf{y}}\in Y^j\) 使 \(\bar{\mathbf{y}}\gneq(1-t)\mathbf{y}^1+t\mathbf{y}^2\)(即 \(\bar{\mathbf{y}}\) 每个分量不小于 \((1-t)\mathbf{y}^1+t\mathbf{y}^2\) 且至少一处严格大)。
For \(\forall j\in\mathcal{J}\): 1. (non-empty) \(\mathbf{0}\in Y^j\); 2. (compactness) \(Y^j\) is closed and bounded, thus compact; 3. (decreasing return to scale) \(Y^j\) is strongly convex.
Def 7.1 (strongly convex): \(Y^j\) is strongly convex if for \(\forall\mathbf{y}^1,\mathbf{y}^2\in Y^j\) (\(\mathbf{y}^1\ne\mathbf{y}^2\)) and \(\forall t\in(0,1)\), \(\exists\bar{\mathbf{y}}\in Y^j\) s.t. \(\bar{\mathbf{y}}\gneq(1-t)\mathbf{y}^1+t\mathbf{y}^2\) (every component in \(\bar{\mathbf{y}}\) no smaller than \((1-t)\mathbf{y}^1+t\mathbf{y}^2\) with at least one strict inequality).

Tip

注记 7.2–7.4 / Remarks 7.2–7.4 7.2:条件 3(规模报酬递减)排除了规模报酬不变技术,转而假设规模报酬递减。7.3:由强凸定义,不保证 \((1-t)\mathbf{y}^1+t\mathbf{y}^2\in Y^j\),\(Y^j\) 甚至可能不凸;此处只需强凸,\(Y^j\) 的凸性无关紧要。7.4:还有一些关于 \(Y^j\) 的合理假设(如 \(y_k^j>0\) 不能对 \(\forall k\) 成立)未被引入,因证明不需要它们。7.2: condition 3 (decreasing return to scale) rules out the constant return to scale technology and instead assumes decreasing returns to scale. 7.3: by definition of strongly convex, it is not guaranteed that \((1-t)\mathbf{y}^1+t\mathbf{y}^2\in Y^j\), so \(Y^j\) might not even be convex; here we only need strongly convex, so the convexity of \(Y^j\) is irrelevant. 7.4: there are other reasonable assumptions about \(Y^j\) (e.g. \(y_k^j>0\) cannot hold for \(\forall k\)) not imposed since they are not used for the proofs.

7.3 Profit Maximization

7.3 Profit Maximization

7.3.1 Profits

Important

Definition 7.2(maximized profit) 给定 \(\mathbf{p}\in\mathbb{R}_{++}^n\),每家厂商 \(j\) 求解 \(\Pi^j(\mathbf{p})\equiv\max_{\mathbf{y}^j\in Y^j}\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^j=\sum_{k=1}^n p_k y_k^j\),\(\Pi^j(\mathbf{p})\) 为厂商 \(j\) 的最大化利润。注意 \(\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^j=\sum_k p_k y_k^j\) 恰是利润(收入减成本),因 \(y_k^j\) 可取正负分别表示产出与投入。Given \(\mathbf{p}\in\mathbb{R}_{++}^n\), each firm \(j\) solves \(\Pi^j(\mathbf{p})\equiv\max_{\mathbf{y}^j\in Y^j}\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^j=\sum_{k=1}^n p_k y_k^j\), where \(\Pi^j(\mathbf{p})\) is firm \(j\)'s maximized profit. Note \(\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^j=\sum_k p_k y_k^j\) is exactly profit (revenue minus cost) since \(y_k^j\) can take positive and negative values for outputs and inputs.

Important

Theorem 7.1 在 Assumption 2 下,对 \(\forall\mathbf{p}\in\mathbb{R}_{++}^n\),厂商 \(j\) 的利润最大化问题 \(\mathbf{y}^j(\mathbf{p})=\arg\max_{\mathbf{y}^j\in Y^j}\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^j\) 的解存在且唯一;\(\mathbf{y}^j(\mathbf{p})\) 关于 \(\mathbf{p}\) 在 \(\mathbb{R}_{++}^n\) 上连续;\(\Pi^j(\mathbf{p})=\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^j(\mathbf{p})\) 良定义(存在唯一)且在 \(\mathbb{R}_+^n\) 上连续。Under Assumption 2, for \(\forall\mathbf{p}\in\mathbb{R}_{++}^n\), the solution to firm \(j\)'s profit maximization problem \(\mathbf{y}^j(\mathbf{p})=\arg\max_{\mathbf{y}^j\in Y^j}\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^j\) exists and is unique; \(\mathbf{y}^j(\mathbf{p})\) is continuous in \(\mathbf{p}\) on \(\mathbb{R}_{++}^n\); and \(\Pi^j(\mathbf{p})=\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^j(\mathbf{p})\) is well-defined (existence and uniqueness) and continuous on \(\mathbb{R}_+^n\).

Note

证明 / Proof (Theorem 7.1)

因 \(Y^j\) 非空紧、\(\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^j\) 连续,Weierstrass 定理保证 \(\mathbf{y}^j(\mathbf{p})\) 存在。唯一性反证:设 \(\mathbf{y}^{1\star}\ne\mathbf{y}^{2\star}\) 都解 \(\max_{\mathbf{y}^j\in Y^j}\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^j\),则对 \(\forall t\in(0,1)\),\((1-t)\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^{1\star}+t\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^{2\star}=\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^{1\star}=\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^{2\star}\)。由 \(Y^j\) 强凸,\(\exists\bar{\mathbf{y}}\in Y^j\) 使 \(\bar{\mathbf{y}}\gneq(1-t)\mathbf{y}^{1\star}+t\mathbf{y}^{2\star}\)。因 \(\mathbf{p}\in\mathbb{R}_{++}^n\) 每分量严格正,\(\mathbf{p}\cdot\bar{\mathbf{y}}>\mathbf{p}\cdot((1-t)\mathbf{y}^{1\star}+t\mathbf{y}^{2\star})=\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^{1\star}=\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^{2\star}\),与二者为解矛盾。故解唯一,\(\Pi^j(\mathbf{p})=\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^j(\mathbf{p})\) 存在唯一。连续性:\(\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^j\) 关于 \(\mathbf{p},\mathbf{y}^j\) 连续,\(\Gamma(\mathbf{p})=Y^j\) 不随 \(\mathbf{p}\) 变,故对应 \(\mathbf{y}^j\in\Gamma(\mathbf{p})\) 紧值连续,最大值定理给出 \(\Pi^j(\mathbf{p})=\max_{\mathbf{y}^j\in Y^j}\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^j\) 连续。把 \(\mathbf{y}^j(\mathbf{p})=\tfrac{\Pi^j(\mathbf{p})}{\mathbf{p}}\),因 \(\Pi^j(\mathbf{p})\) 与 \(\mathbf{p}\) 连续,\(\mathbf{y}^j(\mathbf{p})\) 在 \(\mathbb{R}_{++}^n\) 连续。\(\Pi^j(\mathbf{p})\) 不仅在 \(\mathbb{R}_{++}^n\)、也在 \(\mathbb{R}_+^n\) 连续,因最大值定理不要求 \(\mathbf{p}\) 严格正。\(\blacksquare\)
Since \(Y^j\) is non-empty compact and \(\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^j\) is continuous, the Weierstrass theorem guarantees the existence of \(\mathbf{y}^j(\mathbf{p})\). Uniqueness by contradiction: suppose \(\mathbf{y}^{1\star}\ne\mathbf{y}^{2\star}\) both solve \(\max_{\mathbf{y}^j\in Y^j}\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^j\); then for \(\forall t\in(0,1)\), \((1-t)\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^{1\star}+t\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^{2\star}=\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^{1\star}=\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^{2\star}\). By strong convexity of \(Y^j\), \(\exists\bar{\mathbf{y}}\in Y^j\) s.t. \(\bar{\mathbf{y}}\gneq(1-t)\mathbf{y}^{1\star}+t\mathbf{y}^{2\star}\). Since \(\mathbf{p}\in\mathbb{R}_{++}^n\) has every component strictly positive, \(\mathbf{p}\cdot\bar{\mathbf{y}}>\mathbf{p}\cdot((1-t)\mathbf{y}^{1\star}+t\mathbf{y}^{2\star})=\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^{1\star}=\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^{2\star}\), contradicting that both solve the problem. So the solution is unique, and \(\Pi^j(\mathbf{p})=\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^j(\mathbf{p})\) exists and is unique. Continuity: \(\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^j\) is continuous in \(\mathbf{p},\mathbf{y}^j\), and \(\Gamma(\mathbf{p})=Y^j\) does not change with \(\mathbf{p}\), so the correspondence \(\mathbf{y}^j\in\Gamma(\mathbf{p})\) is compact-valued and continuous; the Theory of Maximum gives \(\Pi^j(\mathbf{p})=\max_{\mathbf{y}^j\in Y^j}\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{y}^j\) continuous. Rewriting \(\mathbf{y}^j(\mathbf{p})=\tfrac{\Pi^j(\mathbf{p})}{\mathbf{p}}\), since \(\Pi^j(\mathbf{p})\) and \(\mathbf{p}\) are continuous, \(\mathbf{y}^j(\mathbf{p})\) is continuous on \(\mathbb{R}_{++}^n\). \(\Pi^j(\mathbf{p})\) is continuous not only on \(\mathbb{R}_{++}^n\) but also on \(\mathbb{R}_+^n\) because the Theory of Maximum does not require strict positivity of \(\mathbf{p}\). \(\blacksquare\)

7.4 Consumer Side

In this production economy, each consumer \(i\)'s budget constraint at \(\mathbf{p}\in\mathbb{R}_+^n\) becomes

$$\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{x}^i\le\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{e}^i+\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}}\theta^{ij}\cdot\Pi^j(\mathbf{p})\equiv m^i(\mathbf{p})$$

其中 \(m^i(\mathbf{p})\) 为消费者 \(i\) 在价格 \(\mathbf{p}\) 处的总收入。

where \(m^i(\mathbf{p})\) is consumer \(i\)'s total income at price \(\mathbf{p}\).

Note

证明 / Proof (Theorem 7.2)

\(\mathbf{x}^i(\mathbf{p},m^i(\mathbf{p}))\) 存在、唯一、在 \(\mathbb{R}_{++}^n\) 上关于 \(\mathbf{p}\) 连续,逻辑与 Thm 6.1 证明完全相同。\(m^i(\mathbf{p})\) 在 \(\mathbb{R}_+^n\) 上连续,因 \(\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{e}^i\) 与 \(\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}}\theta^{ij}\Pi^j(\mathbf{p})\) 都在 \(\mathbb{R}_+^n\) 上连续,求和保持连续。\(\blacksquare\)
That \(\mathbf{x}^i(\mathbf{p},m^i(\mathbf{p}))\) exists, is unique and continuous in \(\mathbf{p}\) on \(\mathbb{R}_{++}^n\) follows exactly the same logic as the proof of Thm 6.1. \(m^i(\mathbf{p})\) is continuous in \(\mathbf{p}\) on \(\mathbb{R}_+^n\) because both \(\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{e}^i\) and \(\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}}\theta^{ij}\Pi^j(\mathbf{p})\) are continuous in \(\mathbf{p}\) on \(\mathbb{R}_+^n\), and the sum preserves continuity. \(\blacksquare\)

Note

证明 / Proof (Theorem 7.3)

由 Thm 6.5,只需证 \(\mathbf{z}:\mathbb{R}_{++}^n\to\mathbb{R}\) 满足三条件。连续性:\(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i(\mathbf{p},m^i(\mathbf{p}))\) 与 \(\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j(\mathbf{p})\) 在 \(\mathbb{R}_{++}^n\) 上连续,\(\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\mathbf{e}^i\) 为常数,故 \(\mathbf{z}(\cdot)\) 连续。Walras 律:因 \(u^i\) 强单调,每人预算约束取等号 \(\mathbf{p}\cdot\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i=\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{e}^i+\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}}\theta^{ij}\Pi^j(\mathbf{p})=m^i(\mathbf{p})\),故
By Thm 6.5, it suffices to show \(\mathbf{z}:\mathbb{R}_{++}^n\to\mathbb{R}\) satisfies the three conditions. Continuity: \(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i(\mathbf{p},m^i(\mathbf{p}))\) and \(\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j(\mathbf{p})\) are continuous on \(\mathbb{R}_{++}^n\), \(\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\mathbf{e}^i\) is a constant, so \(\mathbf{z}(\cdot)\) is continuous. Walras' law: since \(u^i\) is strongly increasing, each agent's budget binds, \(\mathbf{p}\cdot\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i=\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{e}^i+\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}}\theta^{ij}\Pi^j(\mathbf{p})=m^i(\mathbf{p})\), so

$$ > \begin{aligned} > \mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{z}(\mathbf{p})&=\mathbf{p}\cdot\left(\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i(\mathbf{p},m^i(\mathbf{p}))-\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\mathbf{e}^i-\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}}\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j(\mathbf{p})\right)\\ > &=\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\mathbf{p}\cdot\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i(\mathbf{p},m^i(\mathbf{p}))-\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{e}^i-\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}}\mathbf{p}\cdot\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j(\mathbf{p})\\ > &=\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\mathbf{p}\cdot\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i(\mathbf{p},m^i(\mathbf{p}))-\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{e}^i-\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}}\theta^{ij}\Pi^j(\mathbf{p})\\ > &=\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\underbrace{\left(\mathbf{p}\cdot\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i(\mathbf{p},m^i(\mathbf{p}))-\mathbf{p}\cdot\mathbf{e}^i-\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}}\theta^{ij}\Pi^j(\mathbf{p})\right)}_{=0}\\ > &=0 > \end{aligned} > $$

(用了 \(\mathbf{p}\cdot\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j=\Pi^j(\mathbf{p})\) 与 \(\sum_{i}\theta^{ij}=1\)。)条件 3:设 \(\mathbf{0}\ll\mathbf{p}^m\to\bar{\mathbf{p}}\ne\mathbf{0}\) 且 \(\bar p_k=0\)。须证 \(\exists k'\) 使 \(\bar p_{k'}=0\) 且 \(\{z_{k'}(\mathbf{p}^m)\}\) 上无界。如前寻找 \(m^i(\mathbf{p})>0\) 的消费者:
(using \(\mathbf{p}\cdot\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j=\Pi^j(\mathbf{p})\) and \(\sum_{i}\theta^{ij}=1\).) Condition 3: let \(\mathbf{0}\ll\mathbf{p}^m\to\bar{\mathbf{p}}\ne\mathbf{0}\) and \(\bar p_k=0\). We must show \(\exists k'\) s.t. \(\bar p_{k'}=0\) and \(\{z_{k'}(\mathbf{p}^m)\}\) unbounded above. As before, seek a consumer with \(m^i(\mathbf{p})>0\):

$$ > \begin{aligned} > \sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}m^i(\bar{\mathbf{p}})&=\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\left(\bar{\mathbf{p}}\cdot\mathbf{e}^i+\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}}\theta^{ij}\Pi^j(\bar{\mathbf{p}})\right)\\ > &=\bar{\mathbf{p}}\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\mathbf{e}^i+\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}}\Pi^j(\bar{\mathbf{p}})\\ > &\ge\bar{\mathbf{p}}\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\mathbf{e}^i+\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}}\bar{\mathbf{p}}\cdot\bar{\mathbf{y}}^j\\ > &=\bar{\mathbf{p}}\left(\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\mathbf{e}^i+\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}}\bar{\mathbf{y}}^j\right)>0 > \end{aligned} > $$

最后严格不等式因 \(\bar{\mathbf{p}}\gneq\mathbf{0}\) 且 \(\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\mathbf{e}^i+\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}}\bar{\mathbf{y}}^j\gg\mathbf{0}\)。因总收入 \(\sum_i m^i(\mathbf{p})\) 严格为正,至少有一个消费者 \(i\) 在 \(\bar{\mathbf{p}}\) 处 \(m^i(\mathbf{p})>0\)。取此消费者 \(i\),其余论证与 Thm 6.7 完全相同。\(\blacksquare\)
The last strict inequality holds because \(\bar{\mathbf{p}}\gneq\mathbf{0}\) and \(\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\mathbf{e}^i+\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}}\bar{\mathbf{y}}^j\gg\mathbf{0}\). Since total income \(\sum_i m^i(\mathbf{p})\) is strictly positive, there is at least one consumer \(i\) whose income \(m^i(\mathbf{p})>0\) at \(\bar{\mathbf{p}}\). Take this consumer \(i\), and the proof follows exactly the same logic as the proof of Thm 6.7. \(\blacksquare\)

Important

Theorem 7.4(First Welfare Theorem) 若每个 \(u^i\) 严格单调,则每个 WEA 都是 Pareto 有效的。If each \(u^i\) is strictly increasing, then every WEA is Pareto efficient.

Note

证明 / Proof (Theorem 7.4)

反证。设 \((\hat{\mathbf{x}},\hat{\mathbf{y}})\) 为价格 \(\mathbf{p}^\star\in\mathbb{R}_{++}^n\) 下的 WEA 但非 Pareto 有效。因其可行,\(\exists(\tilde{\mathbf{x}},\tilde{\mathbf{y}})\) 可行且 \(u^i(\tilde{\mathbf{x}}^i)\ge u^i(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i)\)(\(\forall i\))至少一处严格。由 Lemma 6.1:
By contradiction. Suppose \((\hat{\mathbf{x}},\hat{\mathbf{y}})\) is a WEA at price \(\mathbf{p}^\star\in\mathbb{R}_{++}^n\) but not Pareto efficient. Since it is feasible, \(\exists(\tilde{\mathbf{x}},\tilde{\mathbf{y}})\) feasible with \(u^i(\tilde{\mathbf{x}}^i)\ge u^i(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i)\) (\(\forall i\)) with at least one strict. By Lemma 6.1:

$$\mathbf{p}^\star\tilde{\mathbf{x}}^i\ge\mathbf{p}^\star\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i\tag{7.1}$$

对 \(\forall i\) 至少一处严格。对 \(i\) 求和:
for \(\forall i\) with at least one strict. Adding up across \(i\):

$$\mathbf{p}^\star\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\tilde{\mathbf{x}}^i>\mathbf{p}^\star\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i\tag{7.2}$$

因 \((\hat{\mathbf{x}},\hat{\mathbf{y}})\)、\((\tilde{\mathbf{x}},\tilde{\mathbf{y}})\) 皆可行:
Since both \((\hat{\mathbf{x}},\hat{\mathbf{y}})\) and \((\tilde{\mathbf{x}},\tilde{\mathbf{y}})\) are feasible:

$$\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\tilde{\mathbf{x}}^i=\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\mathbf{e}^i+\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}}\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j\tag{7.3}$$

$$\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i=\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\mathbf{e}^i+\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}}\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j\tag{7.4}$$

把 (7.3)、(7.4) 代入 (7.2):\(\mathbf{p}^\star(\sum\mathbf{e}^i+\sum\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j)>\mathbf{p}^\star(\sum\mathbf{e}^i+\sum\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j)\Rightarrow\mathbf{p}^\star\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}}\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j>\mathbf{p}^\star\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}}\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j\Rightarrow\exists j\in\mathcal{J}\) 使 \(\mathbf{p}^\star\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j>\mathbf{p}^\star\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j\),与厂商 \(j\) 在 \(\mathbf{p}^\star\) 处以 \(\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j\) 最大化利润矛盾。\(\blacksquare\)
Plug (7.3), (7.4) into (7.2): \(\mathbf{p}^\star(\sum\mathbf{e}^i+\sum\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j)>\mathbf{p}^\star(\sum\mathbf{e}^i+\sum\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j)\Rightarrow\mathbf{p}^\star\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}}\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j>\mathbf{p}^\star\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}}\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j\Rightarrow\exists j\in\mathcal{J}\) s.t. \(\mathbf{p}^\star\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j>\mathbf{p}^\star\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j\), contradicting that firm \(j\) maximizes profit with \(\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j\) at \(\mathbf{p}^\star\). \(\blacksquare\)

Tip

注记 7.6 / Remark 7.6 此证明依赖于消费者与厂商面对相同价格 \(\mathbf{p}^\star\)。This proof depends on the fact that consumers and firms face the same price \(\mathbf{p}^\star\).

类似地,可对生产经济定义核,但需对所有权结构加限制。

Similarly, we can define the core for the production economy with some restrictions on the ownership structures.

Important

Definition 7.7(Core) 考虑私有制生产经济 \(\mathcal{E}\),其所有权份额皆为 0 或 1,即 \(\theta^{ij}\in\{0,1\}\)(\(\forall i,j\))。\(\mathcal{E}\) 的核是所有可行配置 \((\mathbf{x},\mathbf{y})\) 之集,满足不存在非空子集 \(S\subseteq\mathcal{I}\) 与配置 \((\tilde{\mathbf{x}},\tilde{\mathbf{y}})\)(\(\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j\in Y^j\) 对每个 \(j\))使:(1) \(\sum_{i\in S}\tilde{\mathbf{x}}^i=\sum_{i\in S}\mathbf{e}^i+\sum_{i\in S}\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}:\theta^{ij}=1}\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j\);(2) \(u^i(\tilde{\mathbf{x}}^i)\ge u^i(\mathbf{x}^i)\)(\(\forall i\in S\))至少一处严格。Consider a production economy \(\mathcal{E}\) with private ownership in which all ownership shares are 0 or 1, i.e. \(\theta^{ij}\in\{0,1\}\) (\(\forall i,j\)). The core of \(\mathcal{E}\) is the set of all feasible allocations \((\mathbf{x},\mathbf{y})\) such that there does not exist a nonempty subset \(S\subseteq\mathcal{I}\) and an allocation \((\tilde{\mathbf{x}},\tilde{\mathbf{y}})\) (\(\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j\in Y^j\) for every \(j\)) such that: (1) \(\sum_{i\in S}\tilde{\mathbf{x}}^i=\sum_{i\in S}\mathbf{e}^i+\sum_{i\in S}\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}:\theta^{ij}=1}\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j\); (2) \(u^i(\tilde{\mathbf{x}}^i)\ge u^i(\mathbf{x}^i)\) (\(\forall i\in S\)) with at least one strict inequality.

Important

Theorem 7.5 若每个 \(u^i\) 严格单调,则 \(\mathcal{E}\) 的每个 WEA 都在 Def 7.7 定义的核中。If each \(u^i\) is strictly increasing, then every WEA of \(\mathcal{E}\) is in the core defined in Def 7.7.

Note

证明 / Proof (Theorem 7.5)

反证。设 WEA \((\hat{\mathbf{x}},\hat{\mathbf{y}})\) 不在核中。因其可行,\(\exists S\subseteq\mathcal{I}\) 及 \((\tilde{\mathbf{x}},\tilde{\mathbf{y}})\)(\(\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j\in Y^j\))使 (1) \(\sum_{i\in S}\tilde{\mathbf{x}}^i=\sum_{i\in S}\mathbf{e}^i+\sum_{i\in S}\sum_{j:\theta^{ij}=1}\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j\)、(2) \(u^i(\tilde{\mathbf{x}}^i)\ge u^i(\mathbf{x}^i)\)(\(\forall i\in S\))至少一处严格。设 WE 价格 \(\mathbf{p}\),由 Lemma 6.1,\(\mathbf{p}\tilde{\mathbf{x}}^i\ge\mathbf{p}\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i\) 至少一处严格,对联盟求和:
By contradiction. Suppose WEA \((\hat{\mathbf{x}},\hat{\mathbf{y}})\) is not in the core. Since it is feasible, \(\exists S\subseteq\mathcal{I}\) and \((\tilde{\mathbf{x}},\tilde{\mathbf{y}})\) (\(\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j\in Y^j\)) with (1) \(\sum_{i\in S}\tilde{\mathbf{x}}^i=\sum_{i\in S}\mathbf{e}^i+\sum_{i\in S}\sum_{j:\theta^{ij}=1}\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j\), (2) \(u^i(\tilde{\mathbf{x}}^i)\ge u^i(\mathbf{x}^i)\) (\(\forall i\in S\)) with at least one strict. Let the WE price be \(\mathbf{p}\); by Lemma 6.1, \(\mathbf{p}\tilde{\mathbf{x}}^i\ge\mathbf{p}\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i\) with at least one strict; summing across the coalition:

$$\mathbf{p}\sum_{i\in S}\tilde{\mathbf{x}}^i>\mathbf{p}\sum_{i\in S}\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i\tag{7.5}$$

因每个 \(u^i\) 严格单调,每人预算约束取等号 \(\mathbf{p}\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i=\mathbf{p}\mathbf{e}^i+\mathbf{p}\sum_{j:\theta^{ij}=1}\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j\),故 \(\mathbf{p}\sum_{i\in S}\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i=\mathbf{p}\sum_{i\in S}\mathbf{e}^i+\mathbf{p}\sum_{i\in S}\sum_{j:\theta^{ij}=1}\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j\)。又 WEA 蕴含每个厂商 \(j\) 在 \(\mathbf{p}\) 处最大化利润,故 \(\mathbf{p}\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j\ge\mathbf{p}\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j\)(\(\forall j\)),于是
Since each \(u^i\) is strictly increasing, each agent's budget binds \(\mathbf{p}\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i=\mathbf{p}\mathbf{e}^i+\mathbf{p}\sum_{j:\theta^{ij}=1}\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j\), so \(\mathbf{p}\sum_{i\in S}\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i=\mathbf{p}\sum_{i\in S}\mathbf{e}^i+\mathbf{p}\sum_{i\in S}\sum_{j:\theta^{ij}=1}\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j\). Also WEA implies every firm \(j\) maximizes profit at \(\mathbf{p}\), so \(\mathbf{p}\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j\ge\mathbf{p}\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j\) (\(\forall j\)), hence

$$ > \begin{aligned} > \mathbf{p}\sum_{i\in S}\sum_{j:\theta^{ij}=1}\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j&\ge\mathbf{p}\sum_{i\in S}\sum_{j:\theta^{ij}=1}\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j\\ > \Rightarrow\mathbf{p}\sum_{i\in S}\mathbf{e}^i+\mathbf{p}\sum_{i\in S}\sum_{j:\theta^{ij}=1}\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j&\ge\mathbf{p}\sum_{i\in S}\mathbf{e}^i+\mathbf{p}\sum_{i\in S}\sum_{j:\theta^{ij}=1}\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j\\ > \Rightarrow\mathbf{p}\sum_{i\in S}\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i&\ge\mathbf{p}\sum_{i\in S}\tilde{\mathbf{x}}^i > \end{aligned}\tag{7.6} > $$

(7.5) 与 (7.6) 矛盾,故此联盟不存在,所有 WEA 在核中。\(\blacksquare\)
(7.5) and (7.6) are in contradiction, so such a coalition doesn't exist, and all WEA are in the core. \(\blacksquare\)

Tip

注记 7.7–7.8 / Remarks 7.7–7.8 7.7:因经济中有生产,可行性现涉及生产;任一联盟可考虑的总资源 = 其禀赋 + 其拥有的厂商生产出的全部商品。为何 \(\theta^{ij}\) 只能取 0 或 1?因这意味着对任一联盟,厂商要么被联盟完全拥有与控制,要么完全不被拥有、不影响联盟。0-1 所有权使任一联盟能独立地为其拥有的厂商安排生产、且不受其不拥有厂商的生产计划影响,从而像交换经济一样与整个经济完全分离。若份额可为分数,联盟对其厂商的生产计划可能被联盟外、亦持有正份额的agent否决,使配置可行与否变得不清楚。7.8:已证若每个 \(u^i\) 严格单调则 WEA 在核中;由核的定义,WEA 不被大联盟阻塞,故 WEA Pareto 有效。但此 Pareto 效率证明不如 Thm 7.4 一般,因对 \(\mathcal{E}\) 的所有权结构加了限制。7.7: since there is production, feasibility now involves production; the aggregate resources for any coalition = their endowment plus all goods produced by the firms they own. Why \(\theta^{ij}\in\{0,1\}\)? Because then for any coalition, a firm is either completely owned and controlled by the coalition, or not owned at all and unaffecting the coalition. 0-1 ownership lets any coalition make production independently for the firms it owns, unaffected by the production plans of firms it doesn't own, achieving perfect separateness from the whole economy like the exchange economy. If shares were fractional, a coalition's production plan for its firms could be rejected by agents outside the coalition who also hold positive shares, making feasibility unclear. 7.8: we proved that if each \(u^i\) is strictly increasing then WEA is in the core; by the definition of the core, WEA is unblocked by the grand coalition, hence Pareto efficient. But this Pareto-efficiency proof is less general than Thm 7.4 because it imposes restrictions on the ownership structures of \(\mathcal{E}\).

Theorem 7.6(Second Welfare Theorem) 设 Assumption 1 与 Assumption 2 成立,且 \(\exists\bar{\mathbf{y}}_1\in Y^1,\dots,\bar{\mathbf{y}}_J\in Y^J\) 使 \(\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}}\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j+\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\mathbf{e}^i\gg\mathbf{0}\)。若 \((\hat{\mathbf{x}},\hat{\mathbf{y}})\) Pareto 有效,则存在一组(一次性)收入转移 \(T_1,\dots,T_I\) 使 \(\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}T_i=0\),且 \(\exists\mathbf{p}^\star\in\mathbb{R}_{++}^n\) 使:(1) \(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i\) 在 \(\mathbf{p}^\star\mathbf{x}^i\le m^i(\mathbf{p}^\star)+T_i\) 下最大化 \(u^i(\mathbf{x}^i)\)(\(\forall i\));(2) \(\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j\) 在 \(\mathbf{y}^j\in Y^j\) 下最大化 \(\mathbf{p}^\star\mathbf{y}^j\)(\(\forall j\))。二者合起来即 \((\hat{\mathbf{x}},\hat{\mathbf{y}})\) 为 WEA。Suppose Assumption 1 and Assumption 2 hold, and \(\exists\bar{\mathbf{y}}_1\in Y^1,\dots,\bar{\mathbf{y}}_J\in Y^J\) such that \(\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}}\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j+\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}\mathbf{e}^i\gg\mathbf{0}\). If \((\hat{\mathbf{x}},\hat{\mathbf{y}})\) is Pareto efficient, then there exists a set of (lump-sum) income transfers \(T_1,\dots,T_I\) with \(\sum_{i\in\mathcal{I}}T_i=0\), and \(\exists\mathbf{p}^\star\in\mathbb{R}_{++}^n\) such that: (1) \(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i\) maximizes \(u^i(\mathbf{x}^i)\) s.t. \(\mathbf{p}^\star\mathbf{x}^i\le m^i(\mathbf{p}^\star)+T_i\) (\(\forall i\)); (2) \(\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j\) maximizes \(\mathbf{p}^\star\mathbf{y}^j\) s.t. \(\mathbf{y}^j\in Y^j\) (\(\forall j\)). Combined, \((\hat{\mathbf{x}},\hat{\mathbf{y}})\) is a WEA.

Note

证明 / Proof (Theorem 7.6)

此处加上一些非必需的额外假设,因而证明一个较弱的版本。另设 \(u^i\) 连续可微,\(\nabla u^i(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i)\gg\mathbf{0}\)、\(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i\gg\mathbf{0}\)(\(\forall i\)),其中梯度
Here we add some extra assumptions that are not necessary, so we prove a weaker theorem. Suppose in addition \(u^i\) is continuously differentiable and \(\nabla u^i(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i)\gg\mathbf{0}\), \(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i\gg\mathbf{0}\) (\(\forall i\)), where the gradient

$$\nabla u^i(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i)=\begin{bmatrix}\frac{\partial u^i}{\partial x_1^i}\\\frac{\partial u^i}{\partial x_2^i}\\\vdots\\\frac{\partial u^i}{\partial x_n^i}\end{bmatrix}$$

由 Pareto 效率,\(\forall i\in\mathcal{I}\),\(\exists\lambda_i>0\) 使 \(\tfrac{1}{\lambda_1}\nabla u^1(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^1)=\tfrac{1}{\lambda_2}\nabla u^2(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^2)=\dots=\tfrac{1}{\lambda_I}\nabla u^I(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^I)\)。为何成立:设 \(i,j\) 使 \(\tfrac{1}{\lambda_i}\nabla u^i(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i)\ne\tfrac{1}{\lambda_j}\nabla u^j(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^j)\),WLOG 对商品 \(a,b\),\(\tfrac{MU_a^i}{MU_b^i}>\tfrac{MU_a^j}{MU_b^j}\)。则消费者 \(i\) 可给消费者 \(j\) \(db\) 单位商品 \(b\),换取 \(\tfrac{MU_b^j}{MU_a^j}db\) 单位商品 \(a\)。因 \(u^i,u^j\) 连续可微,交换量足够小时 \(j\) 无差异而 \(i\) 严格更优,与 Pareto 有效矛盾。现定义
By Pareto efficiency, \(\forall i\in\mathcal{I}\), \(\exists\lambda_i>0\) s.t. \(\tfrac{1}{\lambda_1}\nabla u^1(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^1)=\tfrac{1}{\lambda_2}\nabla u^2(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^2)=\dots=\tfrac{1}{\lambda_I}\nabla u^I(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^I)\). To see why: suppose \(i,j\) with \(\tfrac{1}{\lambda_i}\nabla u^i(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i)\ne\tfrac{1}{\lambda_j}\nabla u^j(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^j)\); WLOG for goods \(a,b\), \(\tfrac{MU_a^i}{MU_b^i}>\tfrac{MU_a^j}{MU_b^j}\). Then consumer \(i\) can give consumer \(j\) \(db\) amount of good \(b\) in exchange for \(\tfrac{MU_b^j}{MU_a^j}db\) amount of good \(a\). Since \(u^i,u^j\) are continuously differentiable, if the exchange amount is sufficiently small, \(j\) is indifferent but \(i\) is strictly better off, contradicting Pareto efficiency. Now define

$$\mathbf{p}^\star=\frac{1}{\lambda_i}\nabla u^i(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i)\gg\mathbf{0}\quad\text{for }\forall i\in\mathcal{I},\qquad\nabla u^i(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i)=\lambda_i\mathbf{p}^\star\quad\text{for }\forall i\in\mathcal{I}\tag{7.7}$$

\(\mathbf{p}^\star\) 独立于 \(i\)。\(\lambda_i\) 即消费者 \(i\) 效用最大化预算约束的拉格朗日乘子,(7.7) 蕴含每个消费者一阶条件成立。令 \(\hat{\mathbf{x}}\) 为禀赋;Assumption 1 假设 \(u^i\) 拟凹,故一阶条件足以确立 \(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i\) 在 \(\mathbf{p}^\star\mathbf{x}^i\le\mathbf{p}^\star\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i\) 下最大化 \(u^i\)。又 Pareto 效率蕴含 \(\forall i,\forall j\):
\(\mathbf{p}^\star\) is independent of \(i\). \(\lambda_i\) is the Lagrangian multiplier for consumer \(i\)'s budget constraint, and (7.7) implies the first-order conditions for each consumer are satisfied. Let \(\hat{\mathbf{x}}\) be the endowment; Assumption 1 assumed \(u^i\) quasi-concave, so the f.o.c. suffice to establish that \(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i\) maximizes \(u^i\) s.t. \(\mathbf{p}^\star\mathbf{x}^i\le\mathbf{p}^\star\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i\). Also Pareto efficiency implies \(\forall i,\forall j\):

$$\nabla u^i(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i)\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j\ge\nabla u^i(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i)\mathbf{y}^j\quad\text{for }\forall\mathbf{y}^j\in Y^j\tag{7.8}$$

反证:设 \(\exists\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j\in Y^j\) 使 \(\nabla u^i(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i)(\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j-\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j)>0\),则对 \(\forall t\in(0,1)\),\(\nabla u^i(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i)t(\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j-\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j)>0\)。定义 \(\mathbf{y}_m=\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j+t(\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j-\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j)\),由 Assumption 2(\(Y^j\) 强凸),\(\exists\bar{\mathbf{y}}\in Y^j\) 使 \(\bar{\mathbf{y}}\gneq(1-t)\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j+t\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j=\mathbf{y}_m\)。则厂商 \(j\) 可生产 \(\bar{\mathbf{y}}\),但只向市场公开提供 \(\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j\)(价格 \(\mathbf{p}^\star\)),并私下免费给消费者 \(i\) 转移 \((\bar{\mathbf{y}}-\mathbf{y}_m)+(\mathbf{y}_m-\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j)\)(负分量表示 \(i\) 须给厂商一定量该商品)。定义 \(i\) 私下转移后的消费 \(\bar{\mathbf{x}}=\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i+(\bar{\mathbf{y}}-\mathbf{y}_m)+(\mathbf{y}_m-\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j)\),及中间束 \(\mathbf{x}_m=\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i+(\mathbf{y}_m-\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j)=\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i+t(\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j-\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j)\)。当 \(t\to0\),\(\mathbf{x}_m\to\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i\),且
By contradiction: suppose \(\exists\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j\in Y^j\) s.t. \(\nabla u^i(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i)(\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j-\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j)>0\); then for \(\forall t\in(0,1)\), \(\nabla u^i(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i)t(\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j-\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j)>0\). Define \(\mathbf{y}_m=\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j+t(\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j-\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j)\); by Assumption 2 (\(Y^j\) strongly convex), \(\exists\bar{\mathbf{y}}\in Y^j\) s.t. \(\bar{\mathbf{y}}\gneq(1-t)\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j+t\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j=\mathbf{y}_m\). Then firm \(j\) can produce \(\bar{\mathbf{y}}\) but only publicly offer \(\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j\) to the market at \(\mathbf{p}^\star\), and privately offer for free \((\bar{\mathbf{y}}-\mathbf{y}_m)+(\mathbf{y}_m-\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j)\) to consumer \(i\) (negative elements mean \(i\) gives that amount of good to the firm). Define \(i\)'s consumption after the private transfer \(\bar{\mathbf{x}}=\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i+(\bar{\mathbf{y}}-\mathbf{y}_m)+(\mathbf{y}_m-\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j)\), and the intermediate bundle \(\mathbf{x}_m=\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i+(\mathbf{y}_m-\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j)=\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i+t(\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j-\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j)\). As \(t\to0\), \(\mathbf{x}_m\to\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i\), and

又 \(\bar{\mathbf{y}}\gneq\mathbf{y}_m\Rightarrow\bar{\mathbf{y}}-\mathbf{y}_m\gneq\mathbf{0}\Rightarrow\bar{\mathbf{x}}\gneq\mathbf{x}_m\),由 Assumption 1(\(u^i\) 强单调)\(u^i(\bar{\mathbf{x}})>u^i(\mathbf{x}_m)\)。转移中正分量 \(i\) 可白拿;负分量须保证 \(i\) 能给厂商,因 \(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i\gg\mathbf{0}\),可取 \(t\) 足够小使转移第二项 \((\mathbf{y}_m-\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j)=t(\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j-\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j)\) 的负分量绝对值不超过 \(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i\) 对应分量,且第一项 \((\bar{\mathbf{y}}-\mathbf{y}_m)\) 各分量弱正。故 \(i\) 接受私下提供可行。于是厂商 \(j\) 若选 \(\bar{\mathbf{y}}\) 而非 \(\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j\) 并作上述私下免费转移,则 \(i\) 严格更优而其他消费者不受影响(厂商对市场的供给不变),厂商从市场获同样利润、从私下转移获零利润,总利润与各消费者禀赋不变,与 \((\hat{\mathbf{x}},\hat{\mathbf{y}})\) Pareto 有效矛盾。故由 (7.8):\(\lambda_i\mathbf{p}^\star\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j\ge\lambda_i\mathbf{p}^\star\mathbf{y}^j\Rightarrow\mathbf{p}^\star\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j\ge\mathbf{p}^\star\mathbf{y}^j\)(\(\forall\mathbf{y}^j\in Y^j\)),即每厂商 \(j\) 在 \(\mathbf{p}^\star\) 处最大化利润。最后定义 \(T_i\) 使
Also \(\bar{\mathbf{y}}\gneq\mathbf{y}_m\Rightarrow\bar{\mathbf{y}}-\mathbf{y}_m\gneq\mathbf{0}\Rightarrow\bar{\mathbf{x}}\gneq\mathbf{x}_m\), so by Assumption 1 (\(u^i\) strongly increasing) \(u^i(\bar{\mathbf{x}})>u^i(\mathbf{x}_m)\). For positive elements in the transfer, \(i\) can take them for free; for negative elements, \(i\) must give them to the firm — since \(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i\gg\mathbf{0}\), choose \(t\) small enough that the absolute value of the negative elements in the second term \((\mathbf{y}_m-\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j)=t(\tilde{\mathbf{y}}^j-\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j)\) do not exceed the corresponding elements in \(\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i\), and the first term \((\bar{\mathbf{y}}-\mathbf{y}_m)\) is weakly positive. So accepting the private offer is feasible for \(i\). Thus if firm \(j\) chooses \(\bar{\mathbf{y}}\) instead of \(\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j\) and makes the private free transfer, \(i\) is strictly better off while other consumers are unaffected (the firm's market supply is unchanged), the firm earns the same profit from the market and zero from the private transfer, leaving total profits and each consumer's endowment unchanged — contradicting Pareto efficiency. So from (7.8): \(\lambda_i\mathbf{p}^\star\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j\ge\lambda_i\mathbf{p}^\star\mathbf{y}^j\Rightarrow\mathbf{p}^\star\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j\ge\mathbf{p}^\star\mathbf{y}^j\) (\(\forall\mathbf{y}^j\in Y^j\)), i.e. each firm \(j\) maximizes profit at \(\mathbf{p}^\star\). Finally define \(T_i\) such that

$$\mathbf{p}^\star\hat{\mathbf{x}}^i=\mathbf{p}^\star\mathbf{e}^i+\sum_{j\in\mathcal{J}}\theta^{ij}\mathbf{p}^\star\hat{\mathbf{y}}^j+T_i\tag{7.9}$$
