Why Is There a Tendency to Excess Demand in Consumer Goods Markets in Planned Economies?

Economic Change and Restructuring, 1992, vol. 25, issue 3, 237-46

Abstract: In recent discussion of the transition from a planned to a market economy it has been suggested that the queuing costs associated with excess demand represent a deadweight welfare loss. A simple model of the planned economy is developed and used to explain why the planners might choose to permit some degree of excess demand in spite of this deadweight loss.
