On this website, you can learn about heterodox macroeconomic modelling. The DEFINE (Dynamic Ecosystem-FINance-Economy) model draws on post-Keynesian and ecological economics tradition. The website includes a description of the main features, publications, and a visualization too, where the user can play with different variables (economic growth, interest rate, recycling rate, etc.).

The model produces various scenarios for the future of the ecosystem and the global economy. It can also evaluate the long-run effects of various types of environmental policies and strategies.

Currently, three visualizations are provided:

  1. DEFINE-SIMPLE on the impact consumption and investment decisions can have on the path of key economic variables and carbon emissions.
  2. DEFINE-CLIMATE on climate change and how it is affected by economic growth, the share of renewable energy, energy intensity and a climate sensitivity parameter.
  3. DEFINE-MATTER on how economic activity leads to the extraction of matter and the generation of waste.

Comment from our editors:

Stock-flow consistent (SFC) modelling is one of the most viable alternatives to the dominant DSGE modelling of macroeconomic systems. Among others, SFC modelling guarantees a correct and comprehensive integration of all the flows and the stocks of an economy. Hence, it is great to have pages such as these to learn more about it.

In diesem Beitrag geht es darum, den Postkeynesianismus als paradigmatische Alternative zum herrschenden neoklassischen Mainstream etwas näher kennenzulernen. Es zeigt sich sehr schnell, dass der Postkeynesianismus keine einheitliche Denkschule darstellt, sondern vielmehr eine Vielzahl von theoretischen Ansätzen darunter zu verstehen ist, die eine Reihe von methodologischen und epistemologischen Gemeinsamkeiten aufweist und die einige identitätsstiftende Postulate verbindet. Zum konkreten Nachvollzug dieser Postulate aus dem axiomatischen Kern des Postkeynesianismus wird dann darauf verzichtet, dass Kaleidoskop postkeynesinaischer Theorie mit kaleckianischer, kaldorianischer oder gar sraffianischer Grundlage aufzuzeigen, sondern es wird vielmehr nur ein Postkeynesianismus - die monetäre Theorie der Produktion - in seiner paradigmatischen und formalen Struktur beleuchtet und die darauf aufbauende Theorie der Marktteilnahme als alternative Theorie der Wirtschaftspolitik dargelegt. 2018 Level: początkujący Postkeynesianismus: Ein heterodoxer Ansatz auf der Suche nach einer Fundierung Arne Heise Zentrum für Ökonomische und Soziologische Studien, Universität Hamburg What motivates big businesses to reject full employment policies?

The course covers three main components of gender in economics and the economy: (1) the gendered nature of the construction and reproduction of economic theory and thought; (2) the relevance and role of gender in economic decision-making; and (3) differences in economic outcomes based on gender. We wil touch on the relevance of gender and gender relations in at least each of the following topics: economic theory; the history of economic thought; human capital accumulation; labor market discrimination; macroeconomic policy, including gender budgeting; household economics; basic econometrics; and economic crises. 2019 Level: początkujący Gender Relations and Economics Alyssa Schneebaum Vienna University of Economics and Business This journal article by Radhika Desai, Professor at the Department of Political Studies, and Director of the Geopolitical Economy Research Group at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada, was originally published in 2010 and republished in an revised format in 2020.
