This paper investigates the interplay between distributive conflict, wage dynamics, and persistent unemployment within a Kaleckian framework, emphasizing the long-memory properties of wages. We develop a stochastic model in which wages adjust adaptively to cumulative historical discrepancies...

This paper develops a tractable framework in which heterogeneity, captured by the distribution of agent characteristics within an alternative (sector, location, or occupation), emerges endogenously in equilibrium through selection rather than being imposed exogenously. I show that widely used...

The aim of this paper is to analyze the effects of interest rates on rates of capacity utilization, capital accumulation and profit in Italy within a post-Kaleckian theoretical framework. The model employed in the analysis, which was developed by Hein/Schoder (2011), is based on monetary-...
