Contributed Paper presented at the International Conference on Agriculture Of Ouagadougou (BURKINA FASO), December 4-6, 2010.

In this paper we establish an index formula for a marginal pricing production economy and we prove the uniqueness of the equilibrium under a monotonicity assumption on the excess demand function and the local second order sufficient conditions for profit maximization. Our result generalizes...

Dans cet article nous établissons une formule de l’indice pour une économie où les producteurs utilisent la tarification marginale et nous montrons que, sous des hypothèses de monotonicité sur la correspondance d’excès de demande et les conditions suffisantes du second ordre de...

Entrepreneurs typically live with the ever-present threat of business failure arising from limited financial resources and aggressive competition in the marketplace. Under these circumstances, conflicting priorities arise and the entrepreneur is thus faced with certain dilemmas. In seeking to...

This paper compares Kaleckian and Harrodian models of accumulation. The simplicity of the canonical Kaleckian model is appealing but more complex Harrodian specifications are preferable from a behavioral perspective. The local instability of Harrodian-inspired specifications, moreover, offers a...

This article analyzes the effects of international trade policies on an imperfectly competitive domestic market, taking account of consumers, as well as upstream and downstream firms. We first study the impact of a classic import tax decrease and find that this policy harms upstream firms and...

We explore recent analytical developments in trade applied general equilibrium models and present a state of the art. Two extensions have been recently introduced : imperfect competition in order to show the impact of trade liberalization on welfare through a reduced monopoly power and economies...

MIRAGE is a multi-region, multi-sector computable general equilibrium model, devoted to trade policy analysis. It incorporates imperfect competition, product differentiation by variety and by quality, and foreign direct investment, in a sequential dynamic set-up where installed capital is...
