Nonlinear Domar aggregation over transforming production networks
摘要
An economy-wide production network, manifested through monetary input–output coefficients, inherently destabilizes during the general equilibrium propagation of sectoral productivity shocks when substitution elasticities are non-neutral. This study explores the global properties of such networks by mapping the nonlinear price manifold into a linearized transcendent space. Within this framework, we identify the emergence of network singularities, identifying the metabolic thresholds where productivity declines lead to supply-chain paralysis or efficiency gains render primary factors redundant. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the interaction between productivity shocks – the sign of synergism –is uniquely determined by the substitution elasticity
