Consumption and time in economics: prices and quantities in a temporary equilibrium perspective
论文在希克斯临时均衡框架下，论证成本加成非竞争价格可独立于实际销售与预期需求的偏差，并从戈森最优消费频率概念中寻找依据。
The main tenet of the paper is that cost-plus non-competitive prices, while obviously set by firms according to expected market demand for their output, can be assumed to be independent of possible discrepancies between the expected and the actual demand for firms' output. The analysis is placed within Hicks's temporary equilibrium framework, though suggesting an explanation of demand totally different from Hicks's. It is argued that the rationale for the independence of prices from actual sales might be found in Gossen's notion of optimum frequency of consumption. Copyright 2005, Oxford University Press.
