Market Adjustment and Investment Determination under Rational Expectations.
This paper extends traditional comparative statics analysis by providing a theory for the adjustment between stationary states for a competitive industry that faces upward sloping supply curves for durable and nondurable inputs given rational expectations. It is shown that capital adjustment is e specially slow for an industry with long-lived capital, an inelastic supply of investment goods, and a low elasticity of substitution between durable and nondurable inputs. A numerical analysis reveals that it takes 6.4 to 50.5 years to close half of the gap between actual and stationary state capital for depreciation rates of 0.01 to 0.05.
