This paper assesses the dynamic behaviour of policies for resolving trade deficits. We extend the Thirlwall-based model by introducing an equation for setting current account policy. Steady-state solutions implying current account equilibrium emerge under autonomous spending contraction,...

This paper provides a Keynesian account of the slowdown in the United States economic growth as suggested by the growth model of Thirlwall. According to Thirlwall's model, economic growth is determined by the dynamic Harrod foreign trade multiplier. This multiplier relation indicates that the...

The determination of aggregate output and the price level in Turkey is examined. Empirical results indicate that the Turkish economy behaves consistent with predictions of a simple real business cycle model. Output follows an autoregressive structure with trend. Monetary policy is neutral and...

This study empirically investigates dynamic microfoundations for the conventional static money demand equation. An intertemporal substitution model with the addilog utility function yields a money demand relationship that closely approximates the double log specification. Results from previous...

In this article, we provide a test of long-run monetary neutrality employing cointegration and vector error-correction modelling methodology. Using quarterly data for the United States, we estimate the long-run relationships among money supply and output and other key macroeconomic variables....
