Abstract: Abstract. Considered here is direct exchange of production allowances or input factors. Motivated by practical modelling and compution, we sup- pose every owner or user of such items has a linear technology. The issue then is whether competitive market equilibrium can be reached merely via iterated bilateral barters. This paper provides positive and constructive answers.

Keywords: Resource markets; transferable utility:competitive equilibrium; core imputations; linear programming; bilateral barters.
