Taylor approximation of incomplete Radner equilibrium models

In the setting of exponential investors and uncertainty governed by Brownian motions, we first prove the existence of an incomplete equilibrium for a general class of models. We then introduce a tractable class of exponential–quadratic models and prove that the corresponding incomplete equilibrium is characterized by a coupled set of Riccati equations. Finally, we prove that these exponential–quadratic models can be used to approximate the incomplete models we studied in the first part.
