Abstract

The article investigates a closed exchange economy model. It considers situations where constraints are imposed on the volumes of purchase and sale by economic agents. At the same time, it allows a certain range for price variability. Such approaches to studying economic processes are motivated by production, economical and political reasons, forming the so-called rationing schemes. Typically, and in this work in particular, rationing schemes, applied under natural conditions, allow allocating a subset of resources and guaranteeing a commodity distribution that is not "too bad." In this article, both resource and price constraints are cone-shaped, which allows applying them to growing economies. The authors establish the existence of a rationed equilibrium under these circumstances. Unlike conventional rationing schemes, the authors also consider situations where certain consumer preferences are non-convex. The preference convexity condition is replaced with a weaker condition of convexity within the directional cone. At the same time, the proof of existence of a rationed equilibrium does not impose any significant additional constraints on the consumer
