Balder, Erik J. Lectures on Young measure theory and its applications in economics. (English) Zbl 1032.91007 Rend. Ist. Mat. Univ. Trieste 31, Suppl. 1, 1-69 (2000). This lecture note gives a quick introduction into the theory of Young measures with applications to economics. The presentation of the theory of Young measures is based on a transfer of the classical theory of narrow convergence from the domain of probabilities to the more general domain of transition probabilities. This method centers around a Prokhorov-type extension of Komlos’ theorem. The second part of the note deals with applications of Young measures in economics (optimal growth, optimal consumption, Nash equilibria).
