Income Distribution, Debt Accumulation, and Financial Fragility in a Kaleckian Model with Labor Supply Constraints

چکیده
This paper investigates the effect of changes in the retention ratio, profit share, interest rate, and natural rate of growth on the rate of capital accumulation and the financial structure of firms by using a Kaleckian growth model with labor supply constraints. We show that if the economy exhibits a debt-burdened regime, depending on certain conditions, there could be cyclical fluctuations such that the financial structure of firms changes periodically from speculative finance to Ponzi finance.

In this study, using the overlapping generation (OLG (model and the Stochastic Dynamic General Equilibrium (DSGE) approach, the optimal form of labor income tax rate and capital income tax functions is extracted for the economy of Iran using annual time series data during 1357 to 1397. The results of comparing the calibration and simulation of the designed model show that the optimal functions ...
متن کاملInterest , debt and capital accumulation - a Kaleckian approach
In the present paper we explicitly introduce interest payments and debt into a Kaleckian distribution and growth model with an investment function very close to Kalecki’s original writings. The effects of interest rate variations on the short-run equilibrium values of capacity utilisation, capital accumulation and the rate of profit are derived, and the long run effects on the equilibrium debt-...
متن کاملThe Financial Labor Supply Accelerator ∗
When minimum down payments for durable purchases constrain a household’s debt, a persistent wage increase generates a liquidity shortage. This limits the income effect, so hours worked grow. This is the financial labor supply accelerator, which links labor supply to collateralized household borrowing. The mechanism generates a positive comovement of labor supply and household debt, whose streng...

متن کاملGrowth, instability and cycles: Harrodian and Kaleckian models of accumulation and income distribution
This paper compares Kaleckian and Harrodian models of accumulation. The simplicity of the canonical Kaleckian model is appealing but more complex Harrodian speci cations are preferable from a behavioral perspective. The local instability of Harrodian-inspired speci cations, moreover, o¤ers a uni ed understanding of both trend and cycles. JEL classi cation: E12, E32, O41
