Price Dynamics in Equilibrium Models : the Search for Equilibrium and the Emergence of Endogenous Fluctuations / by Jan Tuinstra.

A long-standing unsolved problem in economic theory is how economic equilibria are attained. Price Dynamics in Equilibrium Models: The Search for Equilibrium and the Emergence of Endogenous Fluctuations considers a number of adjustment processes in different economic models and investigates their dy...
