Non-stationary Leontief-Walras economy

Emil Panek-2005-12-30-Economics and Business Review/˜The œPoznań University of Economics Review

TL;DRAbstract

An economy's stability, in the traditional sense, is permanently connected with its equilibrium state, since when we speak of a stable (in a local or global sense) economic system, we mean its ability to return to equlibrium after shocks. Such a meaning of stability is senseless in non-stationary economies, since they do not have any invariant states that are synonyms of the equilibria. By the example of Leontief-Walras model we shall show that non-stationarity of an economy does not exclude its stability, and equlibrium is not a sine qua non condition of stable growth.
