« Appliquer la théorie économique de l’équilibre général »: de Walras à Leontief

Applying general equilibrium theory: from Walras to Leontief

Amanar Akhabbar and Jérôme Lallement

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The way the expresssion "applied economics" was employed changed deeply from one author to another. In this article we examine the meaning of this concept in Leon Walras' and Wassily Leontief's works regarding mathematical models of general interdependence and general equilibrium. It appears that empirical analysis played very different roles in their works but that they both considered economics should develop policy-oriented theory.
