Abstract

La théorie de l’équilibre général est un instrument d’analyse des économies de marché. La grande variété de concepts utilisés en théorie de l’équilibre général découle de la complexité des économies de marché. Dans cet article, je propose un aperçu de quelques étapes importantes du développement de la théorie de l’équilibre général. Je montre ensuite que les théoriciens qui utilisent des modèles d’équilibre général parviendront rarement à des conclusions sans référence à des observations quantifiées.
