Abstract

A dynamical system (DS) describes the evolution over time of all points in a given subspace of an n-Euclidean space. For example consumption c = (c 1,..., c n) is a point in the commodity space. Similarly, price \( \dot p = \hat kE\left( p \right) \) is a point in the price space and Walras’ law p = k̂E(p) describes the evolution over time of prices in response to excess demand E(p), with speed where k̂ = diag(k 1, k 2,..., k n).
