Sectoral shortage models in Hungary

Abstract

In Hungary, a descriptive-explanatory theory of the socialist economy and a family of models connected with it have gradually been developing since the early 1970s and have preserved their relative independence despite the emergence of the disequilibrium models. The main fields of interest in this school are the behavioural rules originating from the institutional system of the socialist economy, the different forms of appearance of shortage and its permanent reproduction mechanisms. The school was started by Kornai’s book Anti-Equilibrium (1971), and a series of verbal works, theoretical-mathematical and econometric models followed.
