Is the Long-run Equilibrium Wage-led or Profit-led? A Kaleckian Approach

چکیده
This paper presents a Kaleckian growth model in which (i) the rate of capacity utilization, the profit share, and the rate of employment are adjusted in the medium run, and (ii) the normal rate of capacity utilization and the expected rate of growth are adjusted in the long run. Both the Kalecki type and the Marglin-Bhaduri type investment functions are introduced. Using the model, we examine which regime is obtained in the long-run equilibrium, the wage-led regime or the profit-led regime.

The results of the cointegration analysis based on the ARDL approach show that pro...
متن کاملFinancialization and its Long-run Macroeconomic Effects in a Kalecki-Minsky Model
One of the main characteristics of “financialization” is the redistribution of income in favor of shareholders, at the expense of workers. In this paper, we interpret pro-shareholder redistribution as a decrease in both retention ratio and wage share. Using both the Kaleckian macroeconomic model and the Minskyan taxonomy of finance regime, we investigate the long-run effects of such parametric ...
متن کاملModernizing the Kaleckian Model: an endogenous market structure
The central motivation of this article is to endogenous market structure (free entry) in the Kaleckian model. Using this model, we find that the model is unstable under a wage-led growth regime when the real interest rate is constant, but stable under a profit-led growth regime. On the other hand, if the interest rate is related to the growth rate, the stability condition depends on not only th...

The evidence suggests that while liberalization has expanded women’s access to employment, the long-term goal of transforming gender inequalities remains unmet and appears unattainable without state intervention in marke...
متن کاملCapitalists, Workers and Managers: Wage Inequality and Effective Demand
We present a simple three-class model in the Kaleckian tradition to investigate the implications of a dominant managerial class class for the dynamics of demand and distribution. Managers are hired by capitalists to supervise workers, but supervision results in surplus extraction and wage inequality. The adjustment of capacity utilization to accommodate goods market disequilibrium produces two ...
