Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walras's Market Models describes and evaluates Léon Walras' models of competitive markets. Through identification of his career phases and the associated general equilibrium models, which are shown to be very different in character, this book differs from previous examinations of his work. During his mature phase of theoretical activity, Walras was concerned with a competitive economy that passes through a phase of disequilibrium in the production and sales of commodities. While in his last phase of theoretical activity, he developed a model in which there is no production, sales, hiring, consuming or saving until an assumed set of equilibrium prices obtains of the model.

Book Synopsis Léon Walras: Elements of Theoretical Economics by : Léon Walras
Download or read book Léon Walras: Elements of Theoretical Economics written by Léon Walras and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-23 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his fourth edition of Éléménts d'économie politique pure (1900), León Walras introduced the device of written pledges to eliminate path dependency: sellers of products and services write out commitments to supply certain quantities at suggested prices with no commodities actually produced and supplied until a set of prices is found at which supply and demand are equal simultaneously in every market. This brought about very serious alterations to the character of the book. Unfortunately, these changes resulted in an incomplete, internally contradictory, and occasionally incoherent text. This translation, therefore, by two leading scholars of León Walras' work, Donald A. Walker and Jan van Daal, revisits the third edition of this seminal work, including Walras' brilliant explanation of his comprehensive model, with all its richness derived from reality. Growing research into Walras' work indicates that it was this third edition that contained his best theoretical research and a translation of this edition of the book is now a necessity.

Book Synopsis The Equilibrium Economics of Léon Walras by : J. van Daal
Download or read book The Equilibrium Economics of Léon Walras written by J. van Daal and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does Walras's theory go beyond perfect competition? Most of the literature on Walras focuses on the Elements of Pure Economics. While this abundance of attention is partly due to the value the economist himself attached to this study, it has created an unbalanced view of his work. In The Equilibrium Economics of Leon Walras, Jan van Daal and Albert Jolink trace the development of Walras's consecutive models of general equilibrium through the five editions of his Elements. The authors also remedy the narrow interpretations of Walras's work by placing his equilibrium theories in a much broader context and argue that these models should be considered as an instrument in Walras's design for optimal economic order. The book falls into three distinct sections. Part I deals with some aspects of Walras's theory - the use of mathematics in economics, the notion of free competition, the notion of utility, and price formation in competitive markets. In Part II these aspects are synthesized in the equilibrium models. Part III outlines Walras's views on what he called the 'social question' and how it led him to formulate regulations with respect to monopoly and the production of public goods, and his ideas on state ownership of the land. The authors argue that all these elements can be brought together in a 'general general equilibrium model' that displays all the features of the models of Part II. Additional material on the life of Leon Walras, technical aspects of his theories and solutions to his equilibrium models and tatonnement can be found in the five appendices. The Equilibrium Economics of Leon Walras thus provides an invaluable introduction to the work of the great French economist.
Book Synopsis Why is There Money? by : Ross M. Starr
Download or read book Why is There Money? written by Ross M. Starr and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This book makes compelling reading for anyone interested in exploring the foundations of monetary theory from a rigorous general equilibrium perspective.' – Gabriele Camera, Purdue University, US 'Introducing the Arrow-Debreu-Starr model of monetary general equilibrium, Professor Starr provides the best defense ever made for the relevance of the Walrasian model to the pure theory of money. While most monetary theorists ventured to the overlapping generations model and then to the search model, only to create recently a hybrid search-Walrasian model, Starr presents the culmination of a patient, career-long effort to integrate money into the basic Walrasian model, with realistic taxation critically helping the government's money to dominate.' – Dror Goldberg, Bar Ilan University, Israel The microeconomic foundation of the theory of money has long represented a puzzle to economic theory. Why is there Money? derives the foundations of monetary theory from advanced price theory in a mathematically precise family of trading post models. It has long been recognized that the fundamental theoretical analysis of a market economy is embodied in the Arrow-Debreu-Walras mathematical general equilibrium model, with one great deficiency: the analysis cannot accommodate money and financial institutions. In this groundbreaking book, Ross M. Starr addresses this problem directly, by expanding the Arrow-Debreu model to include a multiplicity of trading opportunities, with the resultant endogenous derivation of money as the carrier of value among them. This fundamental breakthrough is achieved while maintaining the Walrasian general equilibrium price-theoretic structure, augmented primarily by the introduction of separate bid and ask prices reflecting transaction costs. The result is foundations of monetary theory consistent with and derived from modern price theory. This fascinating book will provide a stimulating and thought-provoking read for academics and postgraduate students focusing on economics, macroeconomics, macroeconomic policy and finance, money and banking. Central bankers will also find much to interest them within this book.

Book Synopsis Walrasian Economics by : Donald A. Walker
Download or read book Walrasian Economics written by Donald A. Walker and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-16 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 2006 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Economics - Micro-economics, grade: 2,0, University of Bratislava, language: English, abstract: The question about how the different economic units such as consumers, governments, and enterprises operate in a competitive markets und make the decisions under conditions of limited amounts of resources is a main subject of studies of the economic science. The lack of resources has turned into a vexed problem in recent years, while people’s desires keep increasing. In order to deal with such a conflict, these three basic questions should be answered by economic systems: What services and goods should be produced and in what quantities? How should these services and goods be produced? Who would be the end customers of such services und goods and how should these should be distributed? Microeconomic theory defines and models an economic activity as an interaction of individuals (economic agents) pursuing their private interests. Considering different microeconomic processes for better understanding the principles of the whole economy we are interested in how the goods are distributed among consumers within different markets. What condition markets’ outcomes, i.e. prices of goods and services and quantities traded, are agents’ behavioral characteristics and the market mechanisms, described of law of supply and demand. It is common to divide two large and groups of agents - households and firms, each of them plays its own role in the market.

Book Synopsis A History of Macroeconomics from Keynes to Lucas and Beyond by : Michel De Vroey

This book was released on 2016-01-08 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book retraces the history of macroeconomics from Keynes's General Theory to the present. Central to it is the contrast between a Keynesian era and a Lucasian - or dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) - era, each ruled by distinct methodological standards. In the Keynesian era, the book studies the following theories: Keynesian macroeconomics, monetarism, disequilibrium macro (Patinkin, Leijongufvud, and Clower) non-Walrasian equilibrium models, and first-generation new Keynesian models. Three stages are identified in the DSGE era: new classical macro (Lucas), RBC modelling, and second-generation new Keynesian modeling. The book also examines a few selected works aimed at presenting alternatives to Lucasian macro. While not eschewing analytical content, Michel De Vroey focuses on substantive assessments, and the models studied are presented in a pedagogical and vivid yet critical way.

Book Synopsis General Equilibrium Analysis by : Pascal Bridel
Download or read book General Equilibrium Analysis written by Pascal Bridel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2010 marks the hundredth anniversary of the death of Léon Walras, the brilliant originator and first formaliser of general equilibrium theory – one of the pillars of modern economic theory. In advancing much derided practical solutions Walras also displayed more concern for the problems of living in a second best world than is common in modern pure theories of the invisible hand, efficient market hypothesis, DSGE macroeconomics or the thinking of some contemporary free market admirers all based on general equilibrium theory. This book brings contributions from the likes of Kenneth Arrow, Alan Kirman, Richard Posner, Amartya Sen and Robert Solow to share their thoughts and reflections on the theoretical heritage of Léon Walras. Some authors reminisce on the part they played in the development of modern general economics theory; others reflect on the crucial part played by general equilibrium in the development of macroeconomics, microeconomics, growth theory, welfare economics and the theory of justice; others still complain about the wrong path economic theory took under the influence of post 1945 developments in general equilibrium theory.

Download or read book Money and General Equilibrium Theory written by Pascal Bridel and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 1997 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridel (economics, U. of Lausanne, Switzerland) reconstructs the pioneering attempts of Leon Walras (1834-1910) and Vilfredo Pareto (1848-1923) to coordinate money and general equilibrium theory. He argues that the very logic of the original static general equilibrium model excludes the integration of monetary and value theory, shows how money is prevented from playing its essential role as a social institution in allowing monetary exchanges between individuals, and calls for some radical re- thinking about the theoretical construction on which much modern economic theory is based.

Download or read book Markets written by Patrik Aspers and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-05-08 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our lives have gradually become dominated by markets. They are not only at the heart of capitalistic economies all over the world, but also central in public debates. This insightful book brings together existing knowledge on markets from sociology, economics and anthropology, and systematically investigates the different forms of markets we encounter daily in our social lives. Aspers starts by defining what a market actually is, analyzing its essential elements as well as its necessary preconditions and varied consequences. An important theme in the book is that a whole host of markets are embedded within one other and in social life at large, and Aspers discusses these in the context of other forms of economic coordination, such as networks and organizations. Combining theory with empirical examples, the book cuts to the core of understanding how different markets function, the role they have played in history, and how they come into being. This accessible and theoretically rich book will be essential reading for upper-level students seeking to make sense of markets and their complex role in social life.
