Effective Demand And Unemployment

Author

Abstract

The coordination of Froduction and consumption decisions is analysed in a static model where the interdependence between production, income and demand is explicitly modelled. With imperfect competition and non-convex production technologies it is shown that there exists a zero pure profit equilibrium with a positive level of employment and possible involuntary employment. Finally, it is shown how to arrange a form of external intervention so as to ensure full employment.
