| Abstract: | Summary. If the allocations of a differential information economy are defined as incentive compatible state-contingent lotteries over
consumption goods, competitive equilibrium allocations exist and belong to the (ex ante incentive) core. Furthermore, any
competitive equilibrium allocation can be viewed as an element of the core of the n-fold replicated economy, for every n.
The converse holds under the further assumption of independent private values but not in general, as shown by a counter-example.
