Rise and decline of the notion of "own rate of interest" in Sraffa. The notion of commodity rate of interest, introduced by Sraffa in a short review-article published in1932, is taken up by Keynes a few years later under the label of own rate of interest. The latter expression soon spreads in...

The purpose of this note is to demonstrate a sufficient condition for discrete tâtonnement process to lead to chaos in a general equilibrium model with multiple commodities. The result indicates that as the speed of price adjustment increases the discrete tâtonnement process is complex in a...

This paper aims at casting light on editorial boards of leading journals in economics. This topic has been largely neglected by economists and sociologists of science, although the crucial role played by editors of prestigious journals in steering the discipline.

Most historical discussions of Arrow-Debreu general equilibrium theory discuss the negative impact of the so-called Sonnenschein-Mantel-Debreu (SMD) results on aggregate excess demand functions. This paper argues that the SMD results were a natural extension of the integrability literature of...

This paper develops a discussion and provides the basis for a dispute of the principal assumption on which the classical-neoclassical theory of perfect competition is based: is it indeed true that the individual product demand of each producer is perfectly elastic (horizontal) and the price is...

This paper characterizes the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of a symmetric, pure exchange economy with two goods and N agents with uniformly distributed preferences and identical endowments. Relaxing the auctioneer assumption, but maintaining a global price rule, sequentially random pairwise...
