We appraise the canonical Robertson­Keynes discussion from the structural axis of exogeneity/endogeneity of the interest rate. The interest rate is shown to be an exogenous variable. It is only with Keynes’ contribution of liquidity preference and, specifically, the introduction of the...

Two agendas of the heterodox economics programme; the stock-flow consistent models pioneered by Wynne Godley, and the monetary circuit approach researched in France and Italy are discussed. The objective is to present a coherent account of two innovations in payments mechanisms: deposit-creating...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to appraise the transition from bank-based systems to universal banking. Design/methodology/approach – The Wynne Godley and Francis Cripps macroeconomic framework is used to structure the argument. Findings – It is shown that the activity of...

We explore the dynamical properties of the Godley-Lavoie model with a focus on Central Bank horizons. The stability properties of modes of regulation are traced from a regime of private bank money to the current crisis with the Central Bank levers of short-term bonds issue to the emerging policy...

Low-denomination coins are ceasing to be accepted as a medium of exchange in India, according to Romar Correa.

The case for financial liberalisation is founded on the neoclassical proposition that savings causes investment and that the interest rate tends to move to equate the two. We find little support for this thesis from the experience of India. Alternatively, we suggest that the Post Keynesian...

We provide an explicit derivation of the conjecture that due to the asymmetric information that characterizes the relationship between bank and borrower monetary policy will be less than fully expansionary.

We model the interaction between capitalists and entrepreneurs as a dynamic game. The open-loop Nash equilibrium and the closed-loop Nash equilibrium are distinguished. The elasticity of intertemporal substitution as well as the level and responsiveness of the wage rate to the accumulation of...

We model the interaction between capitalists and entrepreneurs as a dynamic game. The open-loop Nash equilibrium and the closed-loop Nash equilibrium are distinguished. The purpose is to answer some questions that have arisen in the development of profit-led versus wage-led growth models. We...
