Abstract
This paper analyses the general equilibrium existence problem in a (finite) discretetime economy with infinite-dimensional commodity space and incomplete financial markets. It is assumed that the trading takes place in the sequence of spot markets and futures markets for securities payable in units of account. Unlimited short-selling in securities is allowed. The existence of such an equilibrium is proved under the following conditions: Mackey continuous, weakly convex, strictly monotone, complete preferences and strictly positive endowments.
