This contribution reviews key developments in Kaleckian economics after Kalecki, with a focus on its application to mature capitalist economies. Rather than revisiting interpretations of Kalecki's original work, the contribution highlights subsequent theoretical and empirical extensions. It...

In this paper, I extend the Hein and Stockhammer model of distribution and inflation by incorporating structural trends of financialization through three Kaleckian channels: (1) sectoral recomposition, (2) financial overhead costs and rentiers' profit claims, and (3) the bargaining power of...

The authors propose a modification to the conventional approach of decomposing income inequality by population sub-groups. Specifically, they propose a measure that evaluates observed between-group inequality against a benchmark of maximum between-group inequality that can be attained when the...

This paper studies the relationship between political conflict and economic growth in a simple model of endogenous growth with distributive conflicts. We study both the case of two "classes" (workers and capitalists) and the case of a continuum distribution of agents, characterized by different...

During my last conversation with Masanao Aoki, he told me that the concept of non-self averaging in statistical physics, frequently appearing in economic and financial systems, has important consequences to policy implication. Zipf's law in firms-size distribution is one of such examples. Recent...

This paper studies the effects of an (exogenous) increase of nominal wages on profits, output, and growth. Inspired by an article by Michał Kalecki (1991), who concentrated on the effects on total profits, the paper develops a model that explicitly considers the dynamics of demand, prices,...

In this contribution, we review the research on the variety of macroeconomic demand and growth regimes in finance-dominated capitalism, on the regime shifts in the course of and after the 2007-09 crises, the drivers of these shifts and on the emerging stagnation tendencies. Results of this...

A model linking macroeconomic phenomena and income distribution in balanced growth equilibria is developed as a variant to the Kaldor model of factor shares. It departs from the original Kaldor model in assuming equal savings rates and production determined by a matching process between workers...

This paper explores the implications of different regimes of taxation and fiscal policies on the existence of a one- or two-class economy in the Kaldor-Pasinetti approach of growth and income distribution. A simple model and its diagrammatical representation provide a complete taxonomy of the...
