Abstract

This paper is devoted to the study of the price formation in a context of general equilibrium. In fact, I try to understand how the works on imperfect competition improve this field. This is why I progressively review the contributions of the standard monopoly theory, of the monopolistic competition approach and of the standard general equilibrium theory. Several models are presented in this paper in which I progressively increase the degree of rationality of price maker by moving from a subjective to an objective perception of the demand. In each case, I also briefly discuss the existence conditions.
