The paper attempts to verify Richard Goodwin's (1967) endogenous business cycle theory which states that the driving forces behind fluctuations are class struggles between capitalists and workers about income distribution. Based on a Marxian profit-led model, non-linear differential equations...

We analyse the effects of interest rate variations on the rates of capacity utilisation, capital accumulation and profit in a simple post-Kaleckian distribution and growth model. This model gives rise to different potential accumulation regimes depending on the values of the parameters in the...

Focussing on the long-run effects of ‘financialisation’ and increasing shareholder power in a simple Post-Kaleckian endogenous growth model, we examine the effects of increasing shareholder power on the demand regime, on the productivity regime, and on the overall regime of the model. Under...

Neither the older post-Keynesian models of growth and distribution (Kaldor, J. Robinson) nor the models based on the work by Kalecki and Steindl take sufficiently account of monetary va¬riables. Starting from a non-monetary Kaleckian effective demand model by Bhaduri & Marglin in which...

In this paper we have taken issue with those Marxian and post-Keynesian views which neglect the broad similarities between Marx’s economics and post-Keynesian approaches in the field of money, credit and the rate of interest. Starting from the older observations on the common ground of...

Using a macroeconometric model we simulate different scenarios for alternative wage and monetary policies and their effects on macroeconomic performance in Germany. First, ex post scenarios for the period from 1991 until 2000 are simulated, and then ex ante scenarios for the period from 2001...

Starting from a Post-Keynesian model in which employment is determined by effective de¬mand and the NAIRU is viewed as a limit to employment, enforced by monetary policy re¬acting upon conflict inflation, the effects of central bank independence and labour market institutions on macroeconomic...

We deal with monetary policies as an institution which has a crucial impact on the economic process but is itself object of distribution conflict. For this purpose we make use of the „Social Structures of Accumulation“ approach. We integrate central bank policies into this approach and...
