Abstract
We present a model of an Edgeworthian exchange economy where two goods are traded in a market place. For a specific class of random matching Edgeworthian economies, the expectation of the limiting equilibrium price coincides with that of related Walrasian economies. The novelty of our model is that we assign a bargaining skill factor to each participant which introduces a game, similar to the prisoner's dilemma, into the usual Edgeworth exchange economy. We analyze the effect of the bargaining skill factor on the amount of goods acquired and the overall increase in the utility of the consumer. Finally, we let the bargaining skills of the participants evolve with subsequent trades and study the impact of this change over time.

Abstract
Ourmain interest is to study the relevant biological thresholds that appear in epidemic and immunological dynamical models. We compute the thresholds of the SIRI epidemic models that determine the appearance of an epidemic disease. We compute the thresholds of a Tregs immunological model that determine the appearance of an immune response.
