STWE: Can a Pareto efficient allocation be achieved as a competitive equilibrium?

Yes, if preferences are convex
 

FTWE does not hold in 

the presence of externalities

FTWE focuses on efficiency, not fairness

Allocation where one person owns everything is Pareto efficient

The FTWE tells us that

the resulting equilibrium from these independent, self-interested and decentralised actions is efficient

This is the nature of the “Invisible Hand” of Adam Smith

Implicit assumptions of the FTWE: Each consumer knows only

his own tastes, endowment and the market prices

FTWE

any competitive equilibrium is Pareto efficient

Using Walras’ Law we can show that 

if demand equals supply in one market, the same must be true in the other market.
