Abstract

Abstract This essay develops a simple worker-capitalist model. We first show that if labor markets clear at low wages then certain produced commodities are over-supplied due to inadequate demand. This implies that any voluntary trade between firms and consumers is Pareto- inefficient. Nonetheless, this inefficiency can be rectified by a Pareto-improving income transfer from capitalists to workers. We claim that these results point out an efficiency enhancing role for the welfare state, and demonstrate the markets’ incompetency for coordinating economic activity efficiently, thus evoking the Marxian/Keynesian polem- ics. Finally, we analyze price cycles in a simple setting of Walrasian price adjustment.

Özet

Özet Bu makalede basit bir işçi-kapitalist modeli oluşturulmuştur. İlk olarak emek piyasaları düşük ücretlerde dengelenirse yetersiz talep dolayısıyla belli üretilmiş malların aşırı üretildiğini gösteriyoruz. Bu sonuç firmalar ve tüketiciler arasındaki tüm gönüllü ticari işlemlerin Pareto-verimsiz olduğu anlamına gelmektedir. Ancak bu verimsizlik sorunu kapitalistlerden işçilere doğru Pareto-iyileştirici gelir transferi aracılığı ile çözülebilir. Bu sonuçların refah devleti adına etkinlik arttırıcı bir rolü işaret ettiğini ve Marksist/ Keynesci tartışmaları hatırlatır şekilde piyasaların iktisadi faaliyeti etkin şekilde koor- dine edemediğini gösterdiğini savunuyoruz. Son olarak basit bir Walrasgil kurguda fiyat dalgalanmalarını inceliyoruz.
