There is a conflict in the mechanism for price determination used in a Marshallian partial equilibrium supply and demand framework and the Walrasian general equilibrium framework. It is generally thought that partial equilibrium is a simplified approximation to the complexities of the general...

This paper illustrates on a simple model of production economy with constant returns the incoherence of the partial competitive equilibrium analysis. The conflict between the Marshallian cross and the general equilibrium, which survives under many proposed restrictions of our economic domain,...
