(for any finite B). The asset market clearing condition, together with the
no-short sell conditions, imply that
θr |θ*| < ∞ is a subsequence
of
r). Then, Assumption 2(2), and the spot market clearing conditions,
imply that individual demands have subsequences
(xr) → |x*| < ∞ such
that (2) holds. Since the utility function is twice continuously differentiable,
Du (xr) → |Du (x*) | (for any finite A). This also implies that r) →
|λ*| < ∞, and thus (1) is satisfied. The last condition - together with the
fact that
θr is bounded - implies that βr also converges to a finite bounded
entity. Then, note that, by definition of
T', (t1 r) is always bounded. The
above facts imply that for every firm the Lagrange multiplier
υr is such that
υr → |υ*| < ∞ and (4) holds. Moreover, the above facts, and (3) and (7)
respectively, also imply that there exist subsequences
qr → |q*| < ∞, and
(t0r) → 110| < ∞. This completes the proof. □
