    Additional information

    My indebtness to Professor Jacob Marschak's stimulating work on the subject will be clear to anyone reading the paper. I wish to thank Bruno de Finetti and Herbert Scarf who, at different stages, contributed to improve a first draft of the paper. Responsibility is, of course, entirely mine.

    The research described in this paper was carried out under grants from the National Science Foundation and from the Ford Foundation, while I was associated with the Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics at Yale.
