Abstract

Arrow and Debreu showed in 1954 that, under mild conditions, a competitive economy always has an equilibrium. In this paper, we show that, given a competitive economy that fully respects all the conditions of Arrow–Debreu's existence theorem, for any positive constant h>0, it is PPAD-hard to compute a -approximate competitive equilibrium.
