This work intends to demonstrate the relevance and range of the contributions of Herbert A. Simon, as the pace of its ideas were useful as fundament to the development of many theoretical currents out of the mainstream. In this picture it will be highlighted, very briefly, examples in the...

The present article looks into a general concept of “institution” in accordance with a wide range of economic theories that may be qualified as institutionalist. The orthodox and heterodox institutionalist economic theories are presented from a viewpoint compatible with this general concept,...

The interface between Monetary and Regional Economics is still little explored in Brazil. In this sense, the present paper aims to show the influence of regional aspects on the agent’s liquidity preference. Thus the paper is divided in four sections beyond a brief introduction. In the first...

The aim of this paper is to show that concepts such as growth regime, external constraints and financialization, which are very common in many post Keynesian studies on growth, are compatible and complementary, but the conciliation among them requires the use of some concepts of French...

The aim of this paper is to analyze the relationship between institutions, income distribution and growth in post-Keynesian tradition. Therefore, we developed a model that seeks to illustrate the way in which income distribution affects economic growth. Furthermore, we aim to show that the...

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...

The theoretical and empirical international trade literature suggests that there is long-term valuation/devaluation of the real exchange rate in the developed/undeveloped economies. We argue that the real exchange rate is affected by: i) intercountry differentials of the services sector...

The objective of this article is to present the structure and the first computational simulations of a one-sector macrodynamic model that imbed some elements of the post- keynesian theoretical framework. The theoretical elements embed in the model are: i) determination of the level of output by...

The objective of this article is to present the structure and the first computational simulations of a two sector macrodynamic model that embed some elements of the post-keynesian theoretical framework. The theoretical elements embed in the model are: i) determination of the level of output by...

The theory of unequal development is set to inquire why some countries and/or regions grow more than others. In the attempt to solve this problem, scholars have not explicitly considered money as an important factor in such a scenario. However, in accordance with a post-Keynesian approach, money...
