Abstract In this paper we prove the existence of equilibrium pairs for the new model of a Bayesian free abstract economy which extends Kim and Lee's deterministic model of a free abstract economy (2006). Our existence theorems are proved for the case of upper semicontinuous correspondences. We also define a model of a general Bayesian abstract economy and introduce the new notion of equilibrium pair. We prove the existence of equilibrium pair and equilibrium for this type of abstract economy.


The primary goal of the paper is to deliver a simple proof of equivalence between Brouwer’s fixed point theorem and the existence of equilibrium in a simple exchange model with monotonic consumers. To achieve this end, we discuss some equivalent formulations of Brouwer’s theorem and prove additional ones, that are ’approximating’ in character or seem to be better suited for economic applications than the standard results.
