This paper focuses on the real – as opposed to the monetary – side of the economy to explain price dynamics in Japan between 1981 and 2001. We use a panel industry dataset to examine the impact of institutional and structural factors on the heterogeneous price dynamics in 10...

The wage share in France: how to deal with the issue of self-employed decrease in total employment?French wage share in value-added has experienced important fluctuations for three decades. Nevertheless, recent studies have underlined that the usual indicator of wage share, by estimating labour...

The aim of this short article is to build a model in order to take into account capital scrapping (or bankruptcies) in an income distribution and growth model. The reason to introduce capital scrapping results from the intuition of some inconsistencies between theoretical predictions and...

In this article, we modify the saving function of the Bhaduri-Marglin model and obtain a hump-shaped curve of output in function of wage-share: the nature -exhilarationist or stagnationist- of the economic regime depends on the level of income distribution. Economic policy can thus consist of...

We propose a dynamic model which deals with the impact of income distribution variations on growth. In that goal, we use two models : the classical Goodwin model (1967) and the Bhaduri-Marglin model (1990), which also focuses on the links between income distribution and growth, but in a...

This paper aims to provide an alternative framework to previous studies of deflation in Japan. We focus on the real dimension of the price dynamics and propose an imperfect competition model, which describes a rent economy, where the formation of prices can be separated into the markup (level of...

In this article, we propose a simple Post Keynesian model so as to test whether French economy is wage or profit-led i.e. whether a wage share increase has a negative or positive impact on economic growth. In that perspective, we estimate econometrically the three behaviour equations of our...

DISTRIBUTION AND GROWTH IN FRANCE (1982-2006): A COINTEGRATED VAR APPROACH. We propose a simple Post Keynesian model so as to test whether French economy is profit or wage-led i.e. whether a profit share increase has a positive or negative impact on economic growth. In that perspective, we...

This paper refers to a few recent studies, which have focused on methodological issues related to the estimation of the wage share variations, to compare the evolutions in France and former West Germany since 1970. It is shown that the usual method overestimates the long run drop of wage share...
