On the Revisiting Illyrian Model and Perversity: The Case of the Long-Run

Abstract

The modified theory of the Illyrian firm was developed, in part, to correct a perversity exhibited by the traditional theory of the Illyrian firm--that output rises in response to a fall in output price or a rise in fixed costs. We show that while this revised model has solved the problem for the short-run, the problem remains in the long-run, and this long-run perversity may have important policy implications for the short-run as well. We also show that the under-production problem associated with the traditional LMF is mitigated (and perhaps even reversed) in the modified LMF.
