In Theorem 2, we show that each weakly monotonic free and fair economy admits an equilibrium that is Pareto-efficient. Consider the strategic form game described in Table 5 below. The latter is derived from a free and fair economy with the profile o = (c, a) as the reference point. The economy admits two equilibria, namely, outcomes (c, a) and (d, b). The profile (d, b) is Pareto-efficient and it dominates the outcome (c, a). Authors: (1) Ghislain H.
