In contemporary Japan, the realization of a virtuous cycle of growth and distribution (i.e., how the "new form of capitalism" should be) has been discussed. To examine the validity of economic policies suggested by the new form of capitalism, we present a Kaleckian model that considers the wage...

This study presents a three-sector growth model that consists of manufacturing, private services, and public services, and examines the relationship between sectoral compositions and the tax rate. We identify an optimal tax rate that maximizes instantaneous utility. The optimal tax rate...

This study builds a Kaleckian model that incorporates endogenous technological progress and investigates how a change in a parameter that directly fosters technological progress affects growth and distribution. In this model, there is an optimal wage share that maximizes the technological...

This study extends Goodwin’s growth cycle model by considering low- and high- skilled workers. Using the parameters obtained from the Japanese economy data, we conduct numerical simulations to reproduce Japanese business cycles. We investigate how the introduction of the minimum wage share and...

This study investigates how the income redistribution policy affects economic growth, employment, income distribution, income inequality, and asset inequality. The income redistribution policy is defined as one that imposes capital taxation on capitalists and redistributes it to workers....

This study builds a North-South trade and growth model, and investigates the effect of a change in each country's income distribution on both countries' economic growth. The North is assumed to be a demand-led Kalecki-type economy in which the markup pricing rule and the principle of effective...

This study presents a monetary disequilibrium growth model and conducts numerical simulations to investigate how dynamic paths are affected by the initial conditions and the parameters of expectation formation. The main results are as follows. First, dynamic properties such as stable convergence...

This study presents a growth model with automation technology that considers two classes (workers and capitalists) who conduct dynamic optimization in different manners. In addition to two production factors, labor and traditional capital, automation capital is included as the third production...

This study investigates the relationship between per capita output growth and population growth using the Solow growth model when population growth is negative. When the Cobb-Douglas production function is used, the per capita output growth rate is positive even if the technological progress...

By building a growth model with two classes, workers and capitalists, this study investigates the existence and the stability of the long-run equilibrium along the lines of Pasinetti (1962) and Samuelson and Modigliani (1966). Unlike preceding studies in which the propensity to save of each...
