General Equilibrium Theory, the first volume of Takashi Negishi’s collected essays, contains some of his most important contributions on the theory and applications of general equilibrium analysis published over the last 30 years. Grouped under the headings of Equilibrium and Welfare, Stability, Monetary Economics, International Economics, Public Economics and Disequilibrium Theory, the 47 essays and papers reprinted in this collection cover not only pure theory but also applications of general equilibrium analysis. Some of these essays have made seminal contributions and have been widely cited, while others were published in journals and festschrifts which are no longer easily available.

Professor Negishi has prepared an introduction to this volume in which he discusses the contributions he made in these essays in the light of the most recent developments in the field.
