When Demand Creates Its Own Supply: Saving Traps
نویسنده
چکیده
The mechanism by which aggregate supply creates the income that generates its matching demand (called Say’s Law), may not work in a general equilibrium with decentralized markets and savings in bonds or money. Full employment is an equilibrium, but convergence to that state is slow. A self-fulfilling precautionary motive to accumulate bonds (with a zero aggregate supply) can set the economy on an equilibrium path with a fast convergence towards a steady state with unemployment that may be an absorbing state from which no equilibrium path emerges to restore full employment.

described how the Internet enables a new supply chain paradigm, a push-pull paradigm that replaces the traditional push model. In the past, most companies operated by forecasting long-term demand, mass-producing inventories of product to fulfill the anticipated demand and then "pushing" the inventories on to the customer. The disadvantage of the push model is that production decisions are based...
متن کاملDemand Creates Its Own Supply
As recent events attest, modern economies may have trouble enforcing Say’s Law. An economy with decentralized markets and trades between goods and a liquid asset, money, has two equilibria. In full-employment, output is determined by supply. But a higher demand for liquidity is self-fulfilling and precipitates the economy to an equilibrium where output is determined by demand: the increase of t...

متن کاملQueueing Inventory System in a Two-level Supply Chain with One-for-One Ordering Policy
Consider a two-level inventory system consisting of one supplier and one retailer. The retailer faces a Poisson demand with a known rate and applies base stock (one-for-one ordering) policy. That is, his inventory position is set to a pre-determined level, so the demand pattern is transferred exactly to the supplier. The supplier has an inventory system and a service unit with exponentially dis...
