This paper develops a formal neo-Kaleckian model of growth and distribution with excess capacity. First, we deal with the stability and uniqueness of equilibrium in the short run and make some comparative static exercises. Then we show the long run behaviour of the model by endogenising the...

This paper studies the evolution and sustainability of public debt in Canada thanks to the accounting methodology put forward by Pasinetti (1998). We show to what extent the austerity policies, which have been applied in the first half of the 1990s by the Canadian government, led to believe to...

The starting point of this article is that China’s post-socialist transformation has involved a change in its growth regime. Indeed, during the Maoist era, it took the form of a “forced growth” as theorized by Kornai (1972). In addition, “export aversion” was one of the main...

This article explores the consequences of an endogenous dividend policy in the context of a Cambridge model of growth and distribution. In this logic, we take into account the interactions between the retention ratio and the level of debt and investigate the conditions for macroeconomic...

In this paper, a standard short-run Kaleckian macromodel is developed. The stability of equilibrium is studied and some comparative static exercises are made. The paper then takes into account different specifications for an endogenous propensity to invest and systematically analyze the...

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...
