Abstract:
The paper establishes an equivalence theorem (which states that an allocation is a club equilibrium allocation if and only if it is robustly efficient) in a setting where individuals not only trade private goods but can choose to become members of a finite number of clubs, where each club is defined by the external characteristics of its participants and the project in which they are involved. Here competitive equilibrium allocations are characterized using the veto power of the set of all agents, i.e. rather than considering the blocking power of multiple coalitions, we only take the coalition comprising all agents and study its blocking power in a group of economies attained by slightly modifying each agent's initial endowment.
