With this inquiry we seek to develop a disaggregated version of the post-Keynesian approach to economic growth, by showing that indeed it can be treated as a particular case of the Pasinettian model of structural change and economic expansion. By relying upon vertical integration it becomes...

In this article the analysis developed by Feldman (1928) and Mahalanobis (1953) are incorporated to the Post-Keynesian Growth Model to consider the decisions of investment allocation on economic growth. By adopting this approach it is possible to study the interaction between distributive...

In this paper we introduce investment specific technical progress into Pasinetti’s model of structural change. Our aim is to assess effects of embodied technical progress on structural change. Our findings suggest that despite the fact that this type of technical progress increases the...

Information Communication Technology has been identified as a major determinant of international competitiveness between nations in recent years, through increased labor productivity. Depending on the choice of techniques, process innovations may also result in increasing differences in income...

In this paper Pasinetti’s model of structural economic dynamics (1981) is extended to consider international economic relations. Conditions for full employment, full expenditure of income and equilibrium of the trade balance are established for an open economy that requires capital goods to...

In this article the growth models of Feldman (1928) and Mahalanobis (1953) are extended to analyse the implications of the process of structural change on the decisions of investment allocation. By using the device of vertical integration, their constructions are shown to be a particular case of...

This paper contributes to the literature on economic growth by seeking to join several lines of research on structural factors in a more fully specified framework, on the one hand, and by making this more inclusive supply side to interact with demand factors in a model of export-led growth, on...

In this paper the existence and stability of equilibria in an evolutionary game theory model of the labor market is studied by using the Lyapunov method. The model display multiple equilibria and it is shown that the Nash Equilibria of the static game are evolutionary stable equilibria in the...

In this paper it is shown that once-for-all variations in the level of the exchange rate may play an important role in the sectoral composition of the economy and this fact has important implications in terms of a disaggregated version of the Thirlwall’s law even if the argument of the...

In this paper we intend to study some mechanisms that block a rapid diffusion of technological progress from advanced to underdeveloped countries. In order to accomplish this task we focus on two approaches that challenge the view that technological gaps between rich and poor nations are...
