| Tiivistelmä: | The paper considers an abstract economy exhibiting strategic complementarity and multiple, isolated Nash equilibria. It introduces explicit disequilibrium adjustments, which are based on a combination of adaptive and extrapolative forecasts. In this way the locally stable equilibria are typically approached in a cyclical manner. Globally, the phenomenon of overshooting increases the likeliness of regime shifting in response to exogenous shocks. In particular, even undampened cyclical behaviour is possible after a one-time shock. A general conclusion is that the strong propagation effects make the economy much more susceptible to path-dependence than it would be under the equilibrium selection hypothesis conventionally employed in this framework. |
