    Abstract:
    The traditional transportation planning takes the microeconomics Walras equilibrium principle as its theoretical base. Transportation planning is revealed at the point of market equilibrium, and doesn't consider the market disequilibrium cases. Actually, an equilibrium state is a special disequilibrium. Under some market conditions, an equilibrium case can be realized. However, these conditions are very rigorous, we scarcely obtain them. Even if an equilibrium state is carried out, it is still temporary, and can't represent the real market. Transportation market is usually in disequilibrium state. Based on the macroeconomics disequilibrium theory and pertinent research achievements, the idea of disequilibrium transportation planning is proposed in this paper. In order to establish a basic theoretical framework, the existence of market disequilibrium is shown by analyzing the price and quantity regulation mechanism. The unified model of market equilibrium and disequilibrium is introduced by virtue of variational inequality. In this paper, the concept of disequilibrium degree is also posed, and the method for disequilibrium traffic demand forecasting is proposed by incorporating the disequilibrium degree. Finally, the price quantity regulation principle of macroeconomics disequilibrium theory is introduced into the user's route choice behavior, a more general behavior principle is proposed as a result.

    This paper explores the value concept that is important in determining the relationship between demand and supply, and resource allocation in the economy. From value creation perspective, the value concept is redefined to explain value creation and value distribution in the economy. Based on this value concept, the value added method is used for gross domestic product (GDP) measurement that is also used as the objective function in the general equilibrium model. The starting point in general equilibrium modeling is the understanding on the structure and the flows of the economy, in which the general equilibrium mechanism relies on market equilibriums and macro balances. The simulation experiment is used to conduct economic policies from the changes in target sector structure and the combinations of macro closures in the hypothetical economy. The paper contributes a conceptual framework in general equilibrium modeling for economic policy analysis as a good start to understand the more complex general equilibrium models.Keywords: value concept, market equilibrium, general equilibrium, policy analysis, economic growthJEL Classifications: C60; D46; D58; O20DOI: https://doi.org/10.32479/ijefi.8164

    A model is presented to explain how a competitive equilibrium is achieved between multiple regions trading in multiple financial markets. The process of interregional arbitrage developed by Moore, Hill, and others over the past few years is combined with the work of Nagurney in spatial price equilibrium to provide an interesting extension of the original model. This is the first application of spatial equilibrium to monetary flows; an essential ingredient in the eventual development of a general model of spatial equilibrium.

    The most common mode of analysis in economic theory is to assume equilibrium. Yet, without a proper theory of how economies behave in disequilibrium, there is no foundation for such a practice. The necessary step in proposing a foundation is the formulation of a theory of stability, and in this 1984 book, Professor Fisher is primarily concerned with this subject, although disequilibrium behavior itself is analyzed. The author first undertakes a review of the existing literature on the stability of general equilibrium. He then proposes a more satisfactory general model in which agents realize their state of disequilibrium and act on arbitrage opportunities. The interrelated topics of the role of money, the nature of quantity constraints, and the optimal behaviour of arbitraging agents are extensively treated.

    general equilibrium. Intuitively, a dynamic general equilibrium consists of prices and quantities of goods and production factors such that (i) given the prices, the quantities of goods and production factors maximize every economic agent's payoff function, and (TM) the prices clear every market in every time period. In other words, the prices equate demand and supply in every market in every time period. The concept of dynamic general equilibrium is a natural extension of the concept of general equilibrium of static economic models to dynamic models. In the following, firstly, we explain the concept of general equilibrium of static economic models. Then, we proceed to explain the concept of dynamic general equilibrium of dynamic economic models that is shown to be a natural extension of the general equilibrium of static economic models.

    The general equilibrium theory is a demonstration to the characteristics and merits of market economy in western economics, while it can also be applied to design ideal model of the state planning. As far as guidance planning design, Walrasan equilibrium is its foundation, Pareto-optimality is its target, Lange Mode is a simulation of planning to market, and Leontief Model is a planning method.

    This paper presents a judicious way to unify main conceptual assumptions of the Neo-Ricardian, Keynesian and Neo-Classical economic theories within a same model. The motivation for the development of this model is not only to provide a response to Neo-Ricardian critics of the GE theory, but also to propose a micro-founded new version of the Leontief input-output system, or a macroeconomic GE model where the adjustment process to equilibrium can take time and require production cycles. Contrary to a standard Arrow-Debreu GE model, this one shows that perfect information might actually be essential to reach a full-employment state. We therefore make a policy suggestion of creating “growth stimulating labor contracts” (GSLC).

    In the neoclassical economics the tatonnement process is utilized to explain the price change. However, the tatonnement process assumes that there is no trading before the prices reach the equilibrium prices, which is extremely unrealistic since in the markets of the real world the exchange processes usually occur at disequilibrium prices. In this sense, the tatonnement process fails to describe and explain the price fluctuation and the disequilibrium exchange process in the real world. In this paper we introduce an exchange function to describe the exchange process under fixed prices. Based on the exchange function a discrete-time dynamic exchange model is developed. In the model a disequilibrium exchange process occurs in each period, and the prices vary on the basis of the prices and the exchange outcome in the preceding period.
