Abstract

The paper establishes conditions for the existence of a set of prices which are stable and at which markets do not clear, providing a rigorous foundation for the existence of fixed-price equilibria via the macroeconomics of increasing returns. It analyzes a Walrasian price adjustment process for a general equilibrium economy with economies of scale in production.
