The goal of this paper is to provide a model and method for those wishing to include the Post Keynesian perspective when teaching exchange rate theory. It begins by reviewing neoclassical approaches (purchasing power parity, the monetary model, and the Dornbusch model) and then develops a...

Despite its professed emphasis on the real world, the post Keynesian literature lacks a history of business cycle fluctuations in a particular economy. This is an extremely important oversight. Not only might such a study be useful to researchers, but students are anxious to acquire practical as...

Paul Davidson's intermediate macroeconomics textbook, <i>Post Keynesian Macroeconomic Theory: A Foundation for Successful Economic Policies for the Twenty-First Century,</i> serves as an excellent introduction to the economics of Keynes. It opens with a rejection of Say's law, then works its way...

Despite its professed emphasis on the real world, the post Keynesian literature lacks a history of business cycle fluctuations in a particular economy. This is an extremely important oversight.

Finding satisfactory explanations of deviations from uncovered interest rate parity (UIRP) has proved to be a frustrating experience for Neoclassical economists. Studies have focused on the role of risk, but thus far no one has been able to put forward a source thereof that can account for the...

Empirical studies using surveys of exchange rate expectations have become very popular in the literature. The majority have concluded that short-term currency market activity appears to be inconsistent with the standard neoclassical characterization and that, as a consequence, economists should...

In this paper, a series of empirical tests are conducted comparing the explanatory power of the neoclassical approach (in particular, purchasing power parity and the monetary model) with that of a long-run exchange rate model based on Post Keynesian premises (the tests use annual data for the...

John Maynard Keynes argued that crises were systemic and that, unless serious reforms were implemented, they would tend to grow in frequency and severity. The paper sets out to build a Keynes-style model of crises that captures both the unique characteristics of each type and their common roots....

One of the core premises of post Keynesianism is that a proper understanding of the macroeconomy demands a dynamic analysis set in historical time. The default tool of mainstream economics, the general equilibrium framework, cannot possibly capture such a world. The goal of this paper is to...
