In this paper we show that Weintraub:s consumption coefficient (the ratio of total consumption to wages) can elucidate trends in the sectoral and functional distributions of income We also show that, in a Kaleckian model, it simplifies and add precision to Kaleckian macroeconomics. Using a...

Separate Scottish and the rest of U.K. systems of local business property taxation remain the only British example of regional fiscal autonomy. Scottish local business property taxes are L400m. per annum higher than if parity of treatment existed. A Kaleckian tax incidence model is used to...

The paper reinterprets Schumpeter's views on the dynamic effects of taxation, as originally expressed in Crisis of the Tax State, from a Kaleckian perspective. In light of Schumpeter's rejection of Keynesian and Marshallian approaches to taxation, the paper argues that a recently developed...

Laramie A. J. and Mair D. (2005) Regional tax differentials: a Kaleckian approach, Regional Studies 39 , 345-355. The paper presents a Kaleckian approach to the analysis of the incidence and macroeconomic effects of national and local taxes. The micro- and macro-economic foundations of the model...

The paper responds to a note by Robert Dixon that in an earlier paper we had mistakenly argued that Weintraub's consumption coefficient enhances Kalecki's model and helps to elucidate trends in the secular and functional distributions of income. We demonstrate the conditions under which our...

Michal Kalecki's theories of tax incidence and the business cycle are integrated to demonstrate how the amplitude of the business cycle is affected by the taxation of wages and profits. The impact of taxation depends on the stage of the cycle, the economy's long-run position, the direction of...
