Abstract

General equilibrium theory initiated by L. Walras provides a solid theoretical framework of modern economic analysis. From purely theoretical point of view its fundamental mathematical structure is established throughout a series of papers in 1950-60’s in which the existence of an equilibrium is established. The purpose of this paper is to provide an interpretation of perception and representation of economic quantities and economic variables, specifically relating to the concept of demand as their representative, in the fundamental theoretical framework from the point of view of the Debreu conjecture.
