The purpose of this book is to give a sound economic foundation of
finance. Finance is a coherent branch of applied economics that is
designed to understand financial markets in order to give advice
for practical financial decisions. This book argues that for a
sound economic foundation of finance the famous general equilibrium
model which in its modern form emphasizes the incompleteness of
financial markets is well suited. The aim of the book is to
demonstrate that financial markets can be meaningfully embedded
into a more general system of markets including, for example,
commodity markets. The interaction of these markets can be
described via the well known notion of a competitive equilibrium.
We argue that for a sound foundation this competitive equilibrium
should be unique. In a first step we demonstrate that this
essential goal cannot of be achieved based only on the rationality
principle, i. e. on the assumption utility maximization of some
utility function subject to the budget constraint. In particular we
show that this important lack of structure is disturbing as well
for the case of mean-variance utility functions which are the basis
of the Capital Asset Pricing Model, one of the cornerstones of
finance. The final goal of our book is to give reasonable
restrictions on the agents' utility functions which lead to a well
determined financial markets model.
