Effective demand in a stylised Keynesian model of growth
This paper models an economy which suffers from a coordination failure and lack of effective demand in the long run. Specifically, it shows that an input-output economy, with or without credit rationing, converges to a long-period growth path, but that this path is generally Pareto sub-optimal. Yet,...

Zusammenfassung: | This paper models an economy which suffers from a coordination failure and lack of effective demand in the long run. Specifically, it shows that an input-output economy, with or without credit rationing, converges to a long-period growth path, but that this path is generally Pareto sub-optimal.
