Marshall’ ın Değer Teorisinde Ekonomik Birimlerin Karar ve Davranışlarına Yaklaşımı

Marshall’ın “Principles of Economics ” adlı eserinde, “değer” sorunsalına, birimlerin karar ve davranışlarından çok, genel bir ekonomik yaklaşımın hâkim olduğu görülmektedir. Marshall’ın değer teorisinin arka planında belli bir denge arayışı bulunmakla birlikte, Walrasgil genel denge gibi, bütün piyasalarda dengeyi sağlayacak bir fiyat düzeyi arayışı bulunmamaktadır. Çalışmanın temel amacı, “Marshall’ın değer teorisinin, tek tek tüketici bireyler, üretici firmalar ve faktör sahibi bireylerin iktisadi karar ve davranışlarını açıklamaya çalışan bir yaklaşım olmadığını göstermektir” şeklinde özetlenebilecek bir bakış açısının, Marshall’ın değer teorisine hâkim olduğunu göstermektir.

Marshall’s Approach to Decisions and Behaviors of Economic Units in His Value Theory

In Marshall’ s book the Principles of Economics Value "problematic was discussed as in general economic approach instead of the decisions and behaviors of the units. There is not a quest to find a general price level which provides an equilibrium in all markets like Walrasian general equilibrium in Marshall’s theory’s background. Especially Marshall's representative firm approach that selection of the firm to represent all the economy rather than random shows that he is interested in the economy as a whole from the micro bases. In this study, we aimed to show that Marshallian value theory can be summarized as “Marshall’s value theory is not an approach which propose economic decisions and behaviors of consumers, firms and factor owner units one by one”.

Keywords:

Marshallian Value Theory, General Equilibrium, Economic Decision and Behavior, Quasi Rent, Representative Firm.,
