Synopsis

Paperback. A central question in economic theory is how markets operate and whether markets function at all in allocating scarce commodities and resources. The book addresses the following questions. Is an equilibrium reached in a de-centralized economy, and if so, what type of equilibrium, what happens if price formation is subject to rigidities, what are the consequences of missing markets, for example for future commodities, which markets evolve in case of bounded rationality, incomplete information and externalities, how to regulate markets, and how does monetary policy affect the functioning of markets.
