In this work, we recapitulate and compare the market game approaches provided by Shapley and Shubik [35] and Schmeidler [33]. We provide some extensions to economies with infinitely many commodities and point out some applications and lines for future research.

Keywords: Market games, Nash equilibrium, Walrasian equilibrium.
