Hein, Eckhard; Truger, Achim - 2006

Distribution, aggregate demand and productivity growth : theory and empirical results for six OECD countries based on a post-Kaleckian model

Hein, Eckhard; Tarassow, Artur - 2008

Empirical research based on the Bhaduri/Marglin-variant of the Kaleckian model has recently shown that aggregate demand in many medium-sized and large open economies tends to be wage-led in the medium to long run, even in a period of increasing globalisation.

Turning unemployment into self-employment has become a major focus of German active labour market policy (ALMP) in recent years. If effective, this would not only reduce Germany’s persistently high unemployment rate, but also increase its notoriously low self-employment rate. Empirical...
