vNM Utility Function (1)
Note the function U is a utility function representing the preferences on L(S) while v is a utility function defined over S, which is the building block for the construction of U (p). We refer to v as a vNM (Von Neumann-Morgenstern) utility function.

We now have to show that p ∗ is a competitive equilibrium. Using Warlas’ law, we can show that z i (p ∗ ) = 0 for all i. It is common to show the existence of equilibrium by applying a version of fixed-point theorems in Economics.

An Arrow-Debreu security is a contract that agrees to pay one unit of a numeraire (a currency or a commodity) if a particular state of nature occurs and pays zero in all the other states. Suppose there exist no market for contingent commodities, but Arrow-Debreu securities for all state s ∈ S are exchanged at t = 0.

Three Firms (1, 2 and 3) put three items on the market and can advertise these products either on morning (= M ) or evening TV (= E). A firm advertises exactly once per day. If more than one firm advertises at the same time, their profits become 0. If exactly one firm advertises in the morning, its profit is 1; if exactly one firm advertises in the evening, its profit is 2. Firms must make their daily advertising decisions simultaneously.
