In the paper, some empirical results from a macroeconometric disequilibrium model for the Federal Republic of Germany are reported. In the theoretical model, a delayed adjustment of employment and investment is analyzed. Market disequilibrium is introduced by allowing for a sluggish adjustment...

A dynamic model of the firm is worked out, which pays special attention to a delayed adjustment of employment, investment, and the production technology. A three-step decision structure is assumed, with short-run adjustment of output, medium-run adjustment of employment, and long-run adjustment...

The paper deals with causes and consequences of constraints on the adjustment of employment. First, a model of a delayed adjustment of employment and capital is worked out. This model is augmented with linear constraints on the adjustment speed of labour supply and demand. The aggregate model is...

A macroeconomic disequilibrium model is developed for the Federal Republic of Germany. Starting with a microeconomic model of firm's behaviour, the optimal dynamic adjustment of employment and investment is derived. The model of the firm is complemented by an explicite aggregation procedure...
