Using data from the Symmetric Input-Output Table of the Greek economy for the year 2010, this paper estimates the corresponding Sraffian autonomous demand-transfer payments curve. The findings reveal certain technical-effective demand-social features of the Greek economy and provide a context...

Using input-output table data and a system of basic and derivative indices, the analysis in this paper provides a dissection of the Greek economy for the years 2005 and 2010. The findings suggest that: (i) the structural features of the economy have been shaped well before the emergence of the...

In recent years there is a revival of political economy and discussions are about the near linearities of price rate of profit trajectories. In this article, we argue that the economy’s input-output data are of low effective dimensionality, meaning that there is overfitting of both data and...

We study discretionary equilibria in dynamic linear-quadratic rational expectations models. In contrast to the assumptions that pervade this literature we show that these models do have multiple equilibria in some situations. We demonstrate the existence of multiple discretionary equilibria by...
