Abstract

Welker provides a simple proof of the Marshall-Lerner Condition, this paper points out some flaws in his derivation. His definition of excess demand is wrong. Excess demand and excess supply are equivalent. A correct trade model does not contain excess demand or excess supply.

Keywords: Trade, Excess Demand

JEL Classification: F31
