Dear Categorists,

Can anyone supply me with references to uses of category theory and
related concepts/arguments in economic theory?

Thanks,

I have no idea what else is out there, but Sonnenschein once mentioned
the following paper to me:

An Axiomatic Characterization of the Price Mechanism
Hugo Sonnenschein
Econometrica, Vol. 42, No. 3. (May, 1974), pp. 425-434.

As of three years ago, I think that he was unaware of any other
category-theoretic economics papers.
