De existentie en de stabiliteit van het evenwicht van de goederenmarkt ingeval van een proportionele spaarvergelijking en een flexibele-acceleratorvergelijking

Summary

In Duesenberry's growth model and in Matthews' trade cycle model, insufficient attention is paid to the existence and the stability of the equilibrium of the market of produced goods. If entrepreneurs try to equalize actual and desired utilization of the capital stock, equilibrium of the goods market can only continue to exist if full utilization of the capital equipment prevails at the same time.

It is possible to develop a mechanism which results in capital being fully utilized if the goods market is in equilibrium. If the actual utilization tends to adjust itself to the desired, the equilibrium of the goods market tends to disappear. Under these conditions the equilibrium of the goods market is stable.
