| Summary: | The Handbook of Mathematical Economics aims to provide a definitive source, reference, and teaching supplement for the field of mathematical economics. It surveys, as of the late 1970's the state of the art of mathematical economics. This is a constantly developing field and all authors were invited to review and to appraise the current status and recent developments in their presentations. In addition to its use as a reference, it is intended that this Handbook will assist researchers and students working in one branch of mathematical economics to become acquainted with other branches of this field. Volume 2 elaborates on Mathematical Approaches to Microeconomic Theory, including consumer, producer, oligopoly, and duality theory, as well as Mathematical Approaches to Competitive Equilibrium including such aspects of competitive equilibrium as existence, stability, uncertainty, the computation of equilibrium prices, and the core of an economy Mathematical Approaches to Microeconomic Theory. Consumer theory (A.P. Barten, V. Buhm). Producers theory (M.I. Nadiri). Oligopoly theory (J.W. Friedman). Duality approaches to microeconomic theory (W.E. Diewert). On the microeconomic theory of investment under uncertainty (R.C. Merton). Market demand and excess demand functions (W. Shafer, H. Sonnenschein). Mathematical Approaches to Competitive Equilibrium.
