Neste artigo descreveremos as principais características do modelo de crescimento pós-keynesiano formulado por Oreiro & Ono (2005), assim como também proporemos a sua reestruturação, particularmente, através de mudanças nos módulos I e II do modelo. No módulo I, que trata da demanda...

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar um modelo macrodinâmico pós-keynesiano de simulação para uma economia aberta com câmbio flutuante e mobilidade imperfeita de capitais. Após a apresentação da estrutura básica do modelo, procede-se a simulação computacional do mesmo, a partir da...

This paper analyses two issues that were characteristic of the global growth processes of the 1980s and 1990s (i) an important diffusion process of a new general purpose technology (GPT) and (ii) a speed-up of catching-up of a sub-group of developing economies (South East Asia, later China and...

Growth in low-income developing economies with large sectors charac- terized by underemployment is unlikely to be wage-led in the traditional neo-Kaleckian sense of the term. Output and employment in the sectors of the economy producing non-tradable output could be demand-led, how- ever, and...

Evidence regarding the relationship between distribution, demand, and growth in the short run has been mixed. Open economy models that create the possibility of "beggar-thy-neighbor" growth offer one theoretical explanation for why this may be expected. Several authors have argued recently,...

Focusing on core-infrastructure capital vis-à-vis productive capital, we propose a macroeconomic method to determine both which type of capital shortage would be constraining potential output and what would be the optimal composition, or optimal ratio between these two types, of capital in any...

This paper develops the seminal ideas of Nicholas Kaldor into a Centre-Periphery framework of the world economy where the Centre faces the problem of surplus capacity and effective demand and the Periphery faces a capacity constraint. In such a framework, Harrod-type 'foreign trade multiplier'...
