A year later, the American economist, Hollis Chenery, was invited to Santiago to give the ECLA Lectures. His main concern was to stimulate interest in input-output analysis and linear programming for investment planning in developing countries. But he also made a spirited plea for structuralism:

“A central problem of development policy is the adequacy of free market forces in allocating investment resources.... The traditional view of economic policy in Western countries is derived from the classical theory of competitive equilibrium.... The main policy implication of this model is that, under static conditions of perfect competition, market forces will tend to bring about the best of a country’s resources.”

He pointed out that the Keynesian revolution, while successfully challenging classical theory in relation to short-term fluctuations in income and employment, had left its conclusions on longer-term resource allocation virtually unaffected. He identified departures from competition, dynamic causes and equity considerations as the ‘three kinds of defect in the free price-mechanism as an instrument for achieving the maximum social welfare and listed, under the first heading, such obstacles as inadequate information, restrictions on entry into occupations and limited access to capital.

“Theses factors combine to produce a rigid market structure, prevalent monopoly positions, immobile labor and capital, and consequently great inequalities in the returns to labor and capital in different uses... Serious structural disequilibrium in the use of labor, natural resources or foreign exchange represents one of the situations justifying state intervention in investment decisions.”

According to the text, Hollis Chenery

Item 0 - had a clear view of the shortcomings of structuralism.

As vendas de ingressos para os jogos de um time de futebol dependem do número de vitórias do time por temporada e do preço dos ingressos. Em outras palavras, a função demanda pelos ingressos é dada por !$ q=N(20-p) !$, em que !$ p !$ é o preço dos ingressos, !$ q !$ é a quantidade de ingressos (em milhares) e !$ N !$ é a proporção de jogos ganhos. O time pode aumentar N se investir !$ C !$ reais (em milhares) na contratação de novos talentos. Neste caso, tem-se que !$ N=0,7-\dfrac{1}{C} !$. Assuma que o custo marginal de vender um ingresso seja zero.

É correto afirmar que:

Item 4 - A proporção ótima de vitórias é 0,5.

Conforme a Teoria dos Jogos, é correto afirmar que:

Item 1 - Um jogo que não possui estratégias dominantes para todos os seus jogadores também não possui um equilíbrio de Nash.

The classical and neoclassical thesis according to which, in a perfectly competitive economy and in the absence of externalities, market forces operating through the price mechanism assure an optimum allocation of resources, statically and dynamically, were open to attack at three points. First, prices may give the wrong signals because they are distorted by monopoly or other influences. Secondly, labor and other factors of production may respond to price signals inadequately or even perversely. Thirdly, although ready to respond appropriately to price signals, factors of production may be immobile, unable to move quickly if at all. Lets us call them the ‘signaling’, ‘response’ and ‘mobility’ components of the mechanism.

According to the text,

Item 4 - the ‘signaling’ component designates the distorting effect which monopolies have over prices

Em relação aos modelos de séries temporais, é correto afirmar:

Item 1 - O processo MA(1), !$ Z_t=a_t-a_t-a_{t-1} !$, em que !$ a_t !$ é um ruído branco, não é estacionário.

According to Chenery:

Item 1 - Inadequate information, restrictions on entry into occupations and limited access to capital are examples of departures from competition
