It is also, by its nature, to be used for showing the existence of zeroes of a map. In this paper, we first present some existence theorems concerning set-valued maps. These are obtained from a fundamental theorem on a homotopy continuation method and theorems on continuos selections. We then apply them to the Walrasian general equilibrium models and show the existence of equilibria. Subsequently, we consider a regular economy, and get some insights into the number of equilibria due to the homotopy invariance theorem and the norm-coerciveness theorem. Although these problems have been investigated by many economists, the homotopy continuation method clarifies in a clear and systematic manner why our results have been obtained.}, pages = {61--77}, title = {The Homotopy Continuation Method and the Walrasian General Equilibrium Theory}, volume = {8}, year = {1997} }
