Primes

• Allocation
  • Walrasian general-equilibrium theory treats price-mediated allocation as the canonical mechanism, but the same structural prime underlies central planning, rationing, and within-firm transfer-pricing schemes, a unifying reading Debreu (1959) makes explicit in his axiomatic treatment of resource allocation under any criterion.

    This sourceAxiomatic treatment of resource allocation under general equilibrium; develops the formal structure of feasible allocations and Pareto optimality of the price mechanism. SUPPORTS the claim that Debreu makes explicit the axiomatic structure of resource allocation under any criterion.

• Pareto Efficiency
  • Gérard Debreu's Theory of Value (1959)

    This sourceAxiomatic treatment of resource allocation under general equilibrium; develops the formal structure of feasible allocations independent of any particular criterion.

Domain-specific

• Competitive Equilibrium
  • It underlies the welfare theorems: under stated convexity/local nonsatiation and other conditions, equilibria have Pareto properties, and supported Pareto optima can be decentralized after suitable redistribution.
