Post-Keynesian macroeconomics since the mid-1990s: Main developments

Eckhard Hein  | 2016

 

Abstract: In this paper the main developments in post-Keynesian macroeconomics since the mid- 1990s will be reviewed. For this purpose the main differences between heterodox economics in general, including post-Keynesian economics, and orthodox economics will be reiterated and an overview over the strands of post-Keynesian economics, their commonalities and developments since the 1930s will be outlined. This will provide the grounds for touching upon three important areas of development and progress of post-Keynesian macroeconomics since the mid-1990s: first, the integration of distribution issues and distributional conflict into short- and long-run macroeconomics, both in theoretical and in empirical/applied works; second, the integrated analysis of money, finance and macroeconomics and its application to changing institutional and historical circumstances, like the process of financialisation; and third, the development of full-blown macroeconomic models, providing alternatives to the mainstream 'New Consensus Model' (NCM), and allowing to derive a full macroeconomic policy mix as a more convincing alternative to the one implied and proposed by the mainstream NCM, which has desperately failed in the face of the recent crises.

Key words: post-Keynesian macroeconomics, heterodox vs. orthodox economics, pluralism in economics, distribution, money, finance, macroeconomics, macroeconomic policies

In the interview, Robert Skidelsky discusses the emergence of political influence of a certain school of economic thought and how the success of an economic theory depends on the power relations in the society. He introduces the historical example of Keynesian economics and its replacement by liberal economic theory and policy in the aftermath of the Great Depression, and transfers this historical case to the dominant paradigm of austerity policies in the Europe as response to rising public debts caused by the Financial Crisis. He contrasts austerity policies with a Keynesian approach. Furthermore, he relates the targets of policy to the underlying power structures, for example when not the reduction of unemployment but the protection of financial capital is politically addressed. 2015 Level: zaawansowane Economics and Political Power during the Crisis Robert Skidelsky INET Inflation ist eines der wichtigsten Themen der gegenwärtigen Wirtschaftsdebatten. Der Begriff wird jedoch sehr unterschiedlich verwendet. Lars Weisbrod zeigt, dass sich hinter dem Begriff "Inflation" zwei Typen von Inflation verbergen, die in öffentlichen Debatten oft verwechselt werden: Angebots- und Nachfrageinflation. Um diese beiden Konzepte auseinanderzuhalten, schlägt der Autor die Bezeichnungen Teuerung und Geldentwertung vor. 2022 Level: początkujący Warum man das Wort "Inflation" nicht mehr benutzen sollte... und was man stattdessen sagen könnte Lars Weisbrod Substack In dieser vierteiligen Erklär-Artikelserie behandelt Sebastian Gerchert den Fiskalmultiplikator.

This paper explains some key feature of capital flows and the balance-of-payments from a balance sheet perspective: https://www.postkeynesian.net/working-papers/2019/ 2020 Level: zaawansowane Gross capital flows and the balance-of-payments: a balance sheet perspective Karsten Kohler Post Keynesian Economics Society Working Paper Series This article provides a contextual framework for understanding the gendered dimensions of the COVID-19 pandemic and its health, social, and economic outcomes. The pandemic has generated massive losses in lives, impacted people’s health, disrupted markets and livelihoods, and created profound reverberations in the home. In 112 countries that reported sex-disaggregated data on COVID-19 cases, men showed an overall higher infection rate than women, and an even higher mortality rate. However, women’s relatively high representation in sectors hardest hit by lockdown orders has translated into larger declines in employment for women than men in numerous countries. Evidence also indicates that stay-at-home orders have increased unpaid care workloads, which have fallen disproportionately to women. Further, domestic violence has increased in frequency and severity across countries. The article concludes that policy response strategies to the crisis by women leaders have contributed to more favorable outcomes compared to outcomes in countries led by men. 2021 Level: zaawansowane Feminist Economic Perspectives on the COVID-19 Pandemic Naila Kabeer, Shahra Razavi & Yana van der Meulen Rodgers Taylor & Francis Group Entretien avec Sylvie Morel, économiste et professeure titulaire au Département des relations industrielles de l’université Laval, à Québec, où elle est arrivée en 1996. Ses enseignements et ses recherches portent sur les politiques publiques de l’emploi, la sécurité sociale et la théorie économique (l’économie institutionnaliste de John R. Commons et l’économie féministe). Ses travaux sont menés dans une perspective de genre. Elle a collaboré à plusieurs réseaux de recherche féministes, aux fins, notamment, de l’élaboration de formations sur les théories économiques pour les groupes de femmes. Elle est membre du Réseau québécois en études féministes (RéQEF) ainsi que chercheuse associée à la Chaire Claire-Bonenfant – Femmes, Savoirs et Sociétés. Signataire du Manifeste pour un Québec solidaire (2005), elle a co-fondé le site Économie autrement – dédié à la promotion de l’économie hétérodoxe – et y a collaboré pendant 7 ans. Elle a aussi siégé quatre ans au Comité de direction du Centre d’étude sur la pauvreté et l’exclusion (CEPE), rattaché au ministère de l’Emploi et de la Solidarité sociale (MESS).
