Standard equilibrium economic models focus on interdependencies. In Out of Equilibrium, Amendola and Gaffard develop a theory also dealing with interdependencies, but based on disequilibria, which take the form of feedback mechanisms over time. The way in which these disequilibria interact...

[fre] L'objectif de cet article est de contraster deux approches différentes des relations entre innovation et concurrence, l'une, traditionnelle qui met l'accent sur l'existence d'une structure optimale, l'autre qui retient l'exigence de viabilité des processus d'innovation. Il montre que les...

[eng] An economic analysis of technical progress should basically aim at the process of change in which the single firm, or the economy as a whole absorb the technical novelty. Furthermore, technical progress may enter the existing productive structure, or on the contrary, chang it...

[eng] In this paper, the analysis of the innovative processes, defined as processes of creation of technology and characterized by the existence of separable production processes vertically integrated, allow to reconsider the technological strategy of the firms and the articulation between the...

[fre] La dynamique hors de l'équilibre. Les contributions parallèles de F.A. Hayek et J.R. Hicks. . Les fluctuations apparaissent comme l'expression de la manière dont les chan­gements qualitatifs prennent place. Cela est dû aux distorsions de la structure de la capacité productive dans un...

This paper empirically investigates the interplay between economic performance and policies in OECD countries. Macroeconomic theory focuses on supply policies as a key determinant of country?s economic performance. Aggregate demand can play a role only in the short-run. This view rests on the...

[eng] This paper aims to show important aspects of out of equilibrium processes of change ; in particular the distortion of productive capacity associated with a structural modification and its effects over time. It is stressed that, e.g., a change in the rate of take out is not suf­ficient...
