Thus the contract curve, the set of points Octavio and Abby could end up at, is the section of the Pareto efficient locus that is in the interior of the lens formed by the initial allocations. The analysis cannot say which particular point along the contract curve they will end up at — this depends on the two people's bargaining skills.
The entire Pareto set is sometimes called the contract curve, while Mas-Colell et al. restrict the definition of the contract curve to only those points on the Pareto set which make both Abby and Octavio at least as well off as they are at their initial endowment.
The contract curve is the subset of the Pareto efficient points that could be reached by trading from the people's initial holdings of the two goods. contract theory The study of how economic actors can and do construct contractual arrangements, generally in the presence of asymmetric information.

However, based on the extent of society’s preferences for an equal distribution of real income, a point off the curve may be preferred. All points on or below the utility–possibility frontier are attainable by society; all points above it are not attainable. The utility–possibility frontier is derived from the contract curve. [1]
The idea of the core already appeared in the writings of Edgeworth (1881), at the time referred to as the contract curve. [1] Even though von Neumann and Morgenstern considered it an interesting concept, they only worked with zero-sum games where the core is always empty. The modern definition of the core is due to Gillies. [2]
Exactly 10 years ago today, I published a commentary defending the decision to publish the contents of the Sony hack in Variety, the publication where I then served as co-editor-in-chief. Listen ...
The forward curve is a function graph in finance that defines the prices at which a contract for future delivery or payment can be concluded today. For example, a futures contract forward curve is prices being plotted as a function of the amount of time between now and the expiry date of the futures contract (with the spot price being the price at time zero).
