Excited to FINALLY release toughest+most rewarding paper I've worked on...
….we attack a 150 year old Walras question that's gone unanswered, not for lack of trying (Hicks, Samuelson, Arrow; our chances?😱)...

Lo and behold: a typically atypical Chilean wine night (at least at mine). The Pacific opens, Itata interrupts, Lo Abarca broods, and an Argentine enemy crashes the table to prove the Andes have two good sides.
