Open publisher page 8 citations

Abstract

A Walrasian equilibrium is catastrophic from the non-Walrasian viewpoint if some small deviation from the Walrasian prices produces only non-Walrasian equilibrium allocations a long way from the Walrasian allocation. A precise account of this phenomenon is given for a class of three good, single household private ownership production economies.
