    Abstract

    Nachbar [Econometrica 79 (5) (2002) 2065] established minimal conditions under which, following an infinitesimal shock to endowments in an exchange economy, changes in equilibrium prices are negatively related to changes in aggregate consumption. The present paper extends Nachbar (2002) to cover discrete shocks to technologies, ownership shares, and endowments in production economies. As in Nachbar (2002), the analyst's choice of price normalization plays a key role. The required normalization is nonstandard but has a sensible interpretation.
