Stability of some functional equations in economics

Sunto

L'articolo tratta di proprietà di stabilità di equazioni funzionali di interesse per l'economia, la teoria dell'utilità, la teoria della produzione, ecc. Si dimostra che, in molti casi, tali equazioni sono stabili.

Summary

The paper concerns with stability properties of functional equations which are playing a role in economics, utility theory, production theory, etc. The stability of such equations is proved in most cases.
