Hüsseinov, F.2016-02-082016-02-0820030938-2259http://hdl.handle.net/11693/24406In this note two theorems strengthening Grodal's (1971) Theorem on correspondences are proved. The first drops the convexity assumption. The second strengthens that theorem further for the case when the range is the positive orthant. In this case, the conclusion of Grodal's Theorem - the intersection of the integral with the interior of the range being open - is modified to read as the integral being a relative open subset of the positive orthant. An example is provided to show that, such a strengthening is not valid in general. This allows us to dispense with the requirment of convexity of preferences in Grodal's (1971) theorems on the closedness of the set of Pareto optimal allocations, the core, and the continuity of the core correspondence for pure exchange economies. We apply this result to show that blocking coalitions in a large economv are stable.EnglishCoreCorrepondenceLarge economyPareto setTheorems on correspondences and stability of the coreArticle10.1007/s00199-003-0361-81432-0479
