This article underlines the restrictive perspective of the neo-keynesian research program of "microdoundations of unemployment", compared to the keynesian project of a general theory which would marginalize the classical cases. This neo-keynesian program has first restricted the interpretation...

This note replies to Michel De Vroey's article "The History of Economics as Seen by an HeterodoxEconomist", published in Cahiers d'economie politique nO 38. It disputes De Vroey's statement that my "heterodox" presupposition of the primacy of the wage relationship explains a presentation of...

This paper considers the economic policy advocated by Keynes and Friedman in relation to their particular theoretical framework. They have in common an opposition to fine-tuning of the economy. With regard to the contrasting strategies of rules versus discretion, both would be advocates of...

While the financial system has experienced a historical crisis, questions about the role of banking sector are rising among the public and commentators. Although Minsky was one of the few authors who studied the link between banks, risk and crisis, nevertheless his approach seems incomplete for...

This paper aims at analysing the role of uncertainty in Keynes theory of involuntary unemployment. This concept has no role in the model of Keynes resulting from the neoclassic synthesis: a result of unvoluntary unemployment equilibrium is obtained as to the violation of Walras law. Section 1...

This article presents a Neo-Kaleckian model with debt in which complete saving behaviours are taken into account. First, we analyse the short-run equilibrium values and the comparative static of the model in a standard way. Then, we examine the long-run results when the debt ratio is endogenous...

The present study centres on Meade's Simplified Keynesian Model (1937) presented in 1936. The objective of this paper is to show that Meade's model foreshadows the studies (Kalecki (1944), Tobin (1975)) which refute wage rigidity as the benchmark between Keynesian and Classical models. In...

In this short note, we wonder on the opportunity to express Keynes's central message with a static model. Because the phenomena described by Keynes are dynamic, especially the ones described in chapter 19 of the General Theory, we think that they must be analysed with a dynamic model. Deciding...

The aim of this paper is to add to current debates on the efficiency of economic stabilization policies through an analysis of the conception of business cycles developed by Minsky in his earliest work at the end of the 1950s.

In post-war macroeconomics, economic dynamics generally refers to two distinct phenomena, economic growth and business cycles, which implies the existence of a strict dichotomy between short run and long-run analysis. In this paper we focus on two original exceptions to this prevailing view...
