Recent literature dealing with supply-side and demand-side Input — Output models appears to contain some confusion or at least imprecision in the use of ‘stability’, ‘joint stability’, and ‘consistency’. This comment contains a tentative proposal for terminological conventions with respect to the three concepts. These thoughts are offered against the backdrop of a recent paper by Deman which illustrates the definitional problems.
