L’approche séquentielle du déséquilibre dans les modèles de stocks et de flux

This article is concerned with those aspects of economic policy that are related to macro disequilibrium theory. Central to it is the way by which time enters the latter theory. Clower's dual hypothesis about Keynesian consumption function did not refer to time at all. Clower, Leijonhufvud and Howitt did introduce time in the so-called shopkeeper model, but they neglected the role of stocks. This article suggests the incorporation of buffer stocks in models of general disequilibrium. The method is the one used to endogenize policy reaction functions. Time and stocks are then the two poles around which a consistent view on quantitative economic policy can be formulated

À propos des investissements fixes des entreprises du modèle CANDIDE

The purpose of this paper is to comment on the investment equations of the CANDIDE model. The formulation of these equations is based on Jorgenson's theory of investment which is frequently used as a basis for investment expenditures analysis.In the first two sections the authors endeavour to situate Jorgenson's model with respect to other approaches to investment theory. The last two sections contain, first, an evaluation of the way the Jorgenson's model has been adapted and, secondly, an evaluation of the problem of estimation and stability of the investment model
