Abstract

In a Malinvaud disequilibrium model we show that along the boundary between Keynesian unemployment and repressed inflation is a continuum of non-Walrasian equilibria. Therefore, if wages are prices adjust according to (Clower-Benassy) effective excess demand function, the rest point will generally be a non-Walrasian equilibrium and not the Walrasian ones other authors have argued
