Underemployment Equilibria
Author: Jacques H. Drèze
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521435246
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 604
Book Description
This 1991 book is a selection of Jacques Drèze's work over the last decade on the topics of lasting unemployment, stagflation and unused capacity. At the theoretical level, the author has contributed to the formulation and analysis of general equilibrium models which allow for price rigidities and excess supply and lend themselves to econometric implementation, thus represents an attempt to integrate micro- and macroeconomics, and to use theory for empirical and policy purposes.

Multiple Unemployment Equilibria Under Non-representative Agent Demand
Author: Arthur J. Chiang
Publisher: Stanford University
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 115
Book Description
This dissertation analyzes the possibility that high unemployment can be be self-reinforcing through its effects on the distribution of income and, consequently, aggregate demand. The major results of my work demonstrate that these forces can lead to multiple macroeconomic equilibria which are indexed by the level of unemployment. By characterizing low output and employment states as equilibrium outcomes, this thesis provides a coherent theoretical explanation for periods of persistently high unemployment. The key property throughout is non-homotheticity of consumers' preferences, whereby the market demand for goods changes as income distribution changes, even if the total income of all consumers remains fixed. This implies that, unlike in many macroeconomic models, demand cannot be generated from a representative agent and, crucially, that changes in employment along the extensive, as opposed to intensive, margin can have more severe general equilibrium consequences.

Walrasian Economics
Author: Donald A. Walker
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139450913
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
In order to understand the various strands of general equilibrium theory, why it has taken the forms that it has since the time of Léon Walras, and to appreciate fully a view of the state of general equilibrium theorising, it is essential to understand Walras's work and examine its influence. The first section of this book accordingly examines the foundations of Walras's work. These include his philosophical and methodological approach to economic modelling, his views on human nature, and the basic components of his general equilibrium models. The second section examines how the influence of his ideas has been manifested in the theorising of his successors, surveying the models of theorists such as H. L. Moore, Vilfredo Pareto, Knut Wicksell, Gustav Cassel, Abraham Wald, John von Neumann, J. R. Hicks, Kenneth Arrow, and Gerard Debreu. The treatment also examines models of many types in which Walras's influence is explicitly acknowledged.

Advances in Macroeconomic Theory
Author: J. Drèze
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 033399275X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
Leading world scholars analyze a range of specific departures from general equilibrium theory which have significant implications for the macroeconomic analysis of both developed and developing economies. Jacques Drèze considers uncertainty and incomplete markets and Nobel Laureate Robert Solow relates growth theory to the macroeconomic framework. Other issues examined are the implications for macro-policy of new research, including Joseph Stiglitz's warning on the misplaced zeal for financial market liberalization which partly engendered the East Asian and Russian crises.

Dynamic Macroeconomics with Imperfect Competition
Author: Leo Kaas
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642584799
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
This thesis was stimulated throughout the time of my participation in a research project on Dynamic Macroeconomics, supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The starting point was the central question of how to integrate price setting firms in a dynamic disequilibrium model. Almost all recent literature on imperfect competition in macroeconomics applies the objective demand approach by assuming that firms know the true demand curve they are faced with. While this approach can be ap plied in temporary monetary equilibrium models, it proves inadequate for formulating price adjustment in a dynamic disequilibrium model, where it has to be replaced by the concept of subjective demand. Based on this distinction, the thesis starts out with a comparison of the concepts of subjective and objective demand in an abstract framework and surveys the literature on general equilibrium theory with imperfect competition. The objective demand approach is criticized not only on the grounds of its strong rationality requirements and existence problems, but also by the observation that it cannot be applied successfully to characterize determinate rational expectations equilibria in intertemporal macroeco nomics. Finally, price setting firms using subjective demand functions are integrated in a dynamic disequilibrium model in order to study mo nopolistic and oligopolistic price adjustment.

General Equilibrium
Author: Frank Hahn
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134433611
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
In recent years certain leading figures in the world of economics have called the usefulness of general equilibrium theory into question. This superb new book brings together leading economic theorists with important contributions to the ongoing debate. General equilibrium theorists including Michio Morishima, Michael Magill and Martine Quinzii debate strengths, weaknesses and possible futures with leading thinkers such as Herb Gintis, Pierangelo Garegnani and Duncan Foley, who seek to explain the rejection of general equilibrium. Uniquely, none of the contributors portray general equilibrium theory as the perfect guide to market economies actual behaviour, but rather illustrate that there is insufficient acquaintance with existing alternatives and that general equilibrium theory is often used as an ideal 'benchmark'.
