Edgeworth conjecture

Target entity: Edgeworth conjecture
Context triple: [Francis Ysidro Edgeworth, notableConcept, Edgeworth conjecture]

• A. Coase theorem
  The Coase theorem is an economic theory stating that if property rights are well-defined and transaction costs are negligible, private bargaining will lead to an efficient allocation of resources regardless of the initial assignment of rights.
• B. Edgeworth box
  The Edgeworth box is a graphical tool in microeconomics used to analyze the distribution of resources and the efficiency of allocations between two consumers or goods.
• C. Hicks–Kaldor compensation criterion
  The Hicks–Kaldor compensation criterion is an economic efficiency test stating that a policy change is desirable if those who gain could in principle compensate those who lose and still be better off, regardless of whether compensation actually occurs.
• D. Walrasian market-clearing framework
  The Walrasian market-clearing framework is a general equilibrium model in which perfectly competitive markets continuously adjust prices so that supply equals demand in all markets simultaneously.
• E. fundamental theorems of welfare economics
  The fundamental theorems of welfare economics are core results in microeconomic theory that formally link competitive market equilibria with Pareto efficiency and the conditions under which any efficient allocation can be supported as a market equilibrium.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

Target entity: Edgeworth conjecture
Target entity description: The Edgeworth conjecture is a result in general equilibrium theory proposing that, as the number of agents in an economy grows large, the set of competitive equilibria converges to the core of the economy.
