Abstract

In economies with uncertain delivery, objects of choice are lists of bundles instead of bundles. Agents trade their endowments for lists, and it is the market that selects one of the bundles in the list for actual delivery. Knowledge of the selection mechanism allows agents to predict the bundle that is to be selected in each state of nature. A small but informed agent is introduced in the economy in order to guarantee existence of a rational expectations equilibrium.
