General field of research: mathematical economics and economic theory. Main contributions have been to several foundational aspects of demand and general equilibrium theory. In particular extension of the Walras-Arrow-DebreuMcKenzie model to situations with differentiated commodities or with agents not satisfying some of the traditional rationality or convexity postulates.
Use and development of calculus and differential topological tools for the examination of the structure of price equilibria (uniqueness, local uniqueness, comparative statics, index of equilibria, et cetera). Relationships between the notion of price-taking equilibrium and a variety of solution concepts (descendant from Cournot and Edgeworth) incorporating strategic interdependences.
