In order to explain how the Korean economy underwent the structural change through the two crises of 1997-8 and 2008 within the context of globalization, this article focuses on class analysis and inter-sectoral value transfer by estimating the sectoral rates of exploitation along with the...

In this paper, we report a puzzling result about the monetary expressions of labor time (MELTs) of the productive and unproductive sectors. Since part of the aggregate value produced in productive sectors is transferred to unproductive sectors, the productive sector's MELT is a measure of value...

Who are more exploited, high-skilled or low-skilled workers? We address this question using the efficiency wage model with skill differentials incorporated. We perform simulations to find the Nash equilibrium numerically, and our central results are the following. First, higher-skilled workers...

Duménil, Foley and Lévy (DFL)'s note gives a formal presentation of the ‘New Interpretation’ that explicitly considers the issue of heterogeneous labour. It clarified some issues raised in my previous paper. Unfortunately, however, DFL offer only a mathematical formalism while leaving the...
